Tropical Storm Michael Update

TS Michael is expected to become a hurricane.

Please keep updated, stay safe and stock up on supplies.

It is being reported that local weather news stations are not reporting on this storm properly
Ensembles still wide and some trending more east. Tampa north should really watch. If center forms a tick east all this moves east. If it slows & reaches the front later it could turn earlier. Upper Gulf coast from New Orleans east needs to really watch.
#TSMichael

MICHAEL A LITTLE STRONGER...
...THREAT TO THE NORTHEASTERN GULF COAST CONTINUES TO INCREASE...

Reports from the reconnaissance aircraft indicate that tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 170 miles to the NE and SE of the center.

(1) I'm reluctant to start another thread today but this is important. NBC has openly tried to underestimate the severity of hurricane #Florence, which is something meteorologists, officials and hurricane watchers object to, whoever does it.
(2) Now, it could be just one NBC reporter with a bad case of #TDS writing a tweet without knowing that entire careers have been built on campaigning for SAFER and more accurate weather reporting by media.

But if that were the case, NBC would have retracted it by now.
(3) I want to thank the meteorologists who called out NBC for their reckless tweet about #Florence. Most science professionals don't like Trump but they're not about to try to get people killed for political gain.

They have a soul.

Hey NC/VA, Floridian here. Looks like #HurricaneFlorence might hit as a Cat 4. It might not. It might spin off to sea. It might be a big pain for no reason. But as someone who lived through Hurricane Ivan... you don't want to take the chance of staying. Thread:
Ivan had weakened to a 3 by the time it impacted Pensacola. Read excellent @pnj coverage here of what it felt like even still: pnj.com/story/news/loc…
We lived 40+ miles inland & stayed. I was young, but I'll never forget the sound of the wind screaming. We could hear the tornadoes tearing through the woods. The next morning, all the trees were bent- except the ones that were twisted like a blender where twisters came through
