We had a close call from Hurricane Michael, the first Cat 4 hurricane to hit the Florida Panhandle and 3rd strongest landfalling hurricane in recorded history. It was making a beeline for us in NW Florida but forecast tracks had it making a 45 degree turn prior to landfall. It did, devastating to those affected. Skipper drew out how hurricane forecasting works and we are left wondering, what if it didn't make the turn.
Our takeaways, anticipate future storms being much stronger than forecast and moving faster. We might have a good idea on track, but "what if" the storm doesn't quite develop as forecast? Tie down the fleet and move to a spot where we'll feel safe early. ONKAHYE will go with us.
Stay Smart!
