09/25/04 NOW: Jeanne (Atlantic)

[mikegeukes]

Starting a NOW thread for Jeanne, due to the close proximity
of Jeanne to Florida, you now can see the eye on radar.

DANGEROUS CORE OF HURRICANE JEANNE
EXPECTED TO REACH THE FLORIDA EAST COAST TONIGHT...

Jeanne is only 14 miles north of the 11am 9/4 position of Frances.

Really did not know where to post this. During a hurricane a lot
of current information can be obtained through local tv stations.

Vero beach down to Stuart FL look like they are getting absolutely wasted right now on NEXRAD...

 

[B Ozanne]

The NBC affiliate in Palm Beach just showed a radial velocity on one cell in the eyewall of 129mph.

 

[Jeff Lawson]

The 11PM EDT NHC discussion mentions the Vero Beach FCMP (Florida Coastal Monitoring Program) tower at Vero Beach. You can see the data for that tower here as it updates:

http://grove.ufl.edu/~fcmp/Jeanne/T3/

Scroll down to the bottom for the most recent report. Looks to be updating every 15 minutes.

 

[Jeff Snyder]

Official landfall in the nearly identical locale as where Frances made landfall -- Seward's Wall / Stuart. Absolutely incredible that two hurricanes can make landfall in nearly the exact same location within 3 weeks. To make it even more odd, Frances made landfall almost EXACTLY 3 weeks ago (like 1am EDT Sunday 3 weeks ago). The images I've seen look quite a bit more impressive than what I saw with Frances, that's for sure...

10-m WM: 3.0 Sec 51.7 m/s ( 115.6 mph) @ 44.0° @ 26/04:17:38

Wind gusts starting to get back up there after having subsided somewhat...

Convection also blowing up as of 0333Z on the southern side of the eye:

Updated - 144am ET Wow! What a evening. We are in Ft Pierce, FL along the intercoastal water way. We are currently in the eye of Jeanne with a pressure reading of 953mb. Our strongest winds in the western eyewall was around 110 mph with gusts likely near 125mph. We are now waiting on the eastern eyewall. There is very impressive surge from the water in the downtown area's here of Ft Pierce and all around the marina. There is damage to buildings and homes much worst than with Frances right here in the same location a few weeks ago. We are in a group of 5 people at this time. Jim Edds, Chris Collura, Jason Foster, Doug Kiesling and myself Jeff Gammons.

More to come after the east eyewall and sunrise. What a night!

 

[Shoen Tripp]

At 7:15am, winds are now sustained to 35mph with gusts up to 50mph. I am located in Clearwater. The pressure is 29.33 and falling. I am now waiting for the worst to come into the area which will happen in a couple of hours.

It's now sunrise and I'm off to video and take pictures of the storm.
