Malapropismic Depository Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Anyone know the answer to this : Hypothetically, if the eye of this storm makes landfall on the east coast, in a worst case scenario, how many miles inland could the Category 3 to 4 winds extend on this particular storm ?

Passepartout Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Matthew is coming but it seems it will be one very wet Florida and Carolina coast. Have not had a huge hurricane since Sandy in 2012! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that depends on a lot of things like the strength of the storm, the direction of the storm, the direction of the winds, inland topography, stuff like that. Â I don't think there is any hard and fast rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not had a huge hurricane since Sandy in 2012! This will be far worse. A lot of hurricanes, regardless of size, are either wet, windy or various speeds. We're talking 40+ rain possible, 200mph gusts, with 140+mph sustained wind and its moving less than 6mph and has even stopped. That's what makes this so dangerous. It doesn't blow through. It's like a 500 mile wide cyclone sitting on your home and not leaving until everything is destroyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Newest tracks look better for the mid-Atlantic, goes out to sea after it scrapes the Carolinas, but FL still catches her when she's a cat-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 hopefully it will track more west, at least ya'll should be on the 'dry' side then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 New tracking on this storm is crazy. Â Doubling back and hitting FL twice is definitely in play. Â Virginia looks to be in the clear at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Missing what would be my first hurricane since I am still up north. My sister is going to have fun though, especially putting up those hurricane shutters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It's tough waiting around on this thing to see what is going to happen.  The tides have already been really high.  We're getting some nuisance flooding in Norfolk, hours before high tide, on a day with no rainfall.  If this thing dumps a ton of rain and pushes in a big surge then it'll make Norfolk impassable.  Ground is really soft too after that tropical storm that came through and gave us like 10 inches of rain a little over a week ago.  Another big storm means there will be a lot of downed trees.

d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Fresh new update from NOAA Hurricane Center:  That's a projection for sustained winds of 110 mph hitting the Atlantic coast of FL on friday morning.  TryTheBeal is correct, too.  Look at how it could peal off at the Carolinas.  Bit of a chance that it could loop under and back west in to the coast again.  That's too far in to the future to give a solid prediction for.  For now, FL is on high alert.

FanboyOf91 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well, the good Lord decided not to hit Florida with a hurricane for 10 years. Guess hitting us with the same cat 4 hurricane twice is his way of catching up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just received word from my son who goes to ODU that they are telling them to go home if possible or at least make plans to leave the Hampton Roads area by Friday night. The Football game that was scheduled for Saturday night has been moved to Friday night. Will be heading to ODU Friday morning, watch the game and head home after with my son. Bring him back Tuesday. I just hope that Matthew is pushed back out to the Atlantic by Saturday and doesn't turn west. That will just put it in my back yard in Maryland. Hope everyone stays safe during this Hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 They're moving the projected path closer to me. Now predicting the center to go straight up the coast, as opposed to 30 miles offshore.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 This hurricane isn't going to mess with CT right? I'd think that's too far north for this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 At least not on the first pass. It has been known to happen, where they go pack out to sea, circle around, and come back, again. But that's way too far out for the models to predict. Heck, see that "cone", on the map? All that cone says is that there's a 60% chance that the center of the storm will be between those lines. (Meaning a 40% chance that it will be outside them. And that's just the center of the storm.) So, I'm taking a fuzzy projection, and then extrapolating it, here, but there's like a 10% chance that the center of the storm passes through Tampa. (On the gulf coast of Florida.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
