All good. We just had a powerful cold front collide with a warm front right here. Line of storms from Ontario, Canada to Kansas. We're looking at a 30+ degree temp drop in 12 hours.
"Can't see the line can ya Russ?"
"Nope

This will put a serious damper on this semester....
I have an exam Tuesday 0930. 75% chance school closes Tuesday at noon. Damnit
If the 5pm track and intensity verifies, school could be closed for 3-4 weeks

Uni closes at 0001 tonight through Friday, which means my 0930 exam tomorrow has been postponed (thank god).
Track is still dependent on the the ridge/trough interaction over the next 24hours. If the storms speeds up, it looks like a more westerly track and not as intense. If it takes the slower track, it is expected to intensify and track further east, closer to me.
This town sucks for power outages (old infrastructure and a shitty mayor-side note, that socialist is running for governor). Uni could be closed for a month if we get one of the slower/easterly tracks and an intense storm. A cat3 direct hit would be terrible for this area.

Can see the areas of strong convection in the two images below (purple in the gif, bright white clumps in the GOES imagery). Michael has been continuing to intensify despite being in a heavy shear environment., which has kept the convection from becoming organized and preventing a distinct eyewall from forming. It will move in to a weaker shear environment as it moves in to the Gulf which has higher than normal sea surface temps for this time of year. Storm will intensify throughout Tuesday all the way through landfall.
Tracks have been shifting further and further West (towards Panama City Beach and Destin, Florida)

No matter where this thing makes landfall, the storm is still aimed for me.
Stay safe boys.

I postponed a trip to FL this week due to the storm.
Wow! That's what the sun looks like! Brisk 27F out this morning. Looks like I will be on the mower this afternoon, lots of leaves to pick up.
Ditto.
62° at 10:30am in GA. No complaints on that from me.

I'm alive, house is ok. Lost two big trees, one found a fence but both missed house.
Never lost power, but no cable internet
