NEW! Here's Cat-5 #Hurricane #MELISSA's #Jamaica landfall as captured on Cayman Islands radar. These images did not exist until a few days ago, when b e n 🥀✟ ✟ & team at CINWS processed the data. This is at the very edge of the radar range—the radar site is over 200 mi away—& it's quite attenuated. Even so, this gives us a second complete look at that intense (160-knot) eyewall screaming ashore. The star indicates my location, scraping along the right edge of the eye. An absolutely ferocious storm that remains burned in my mind.

8:30 am. Tempted to go out on roof, but opening door could lead to serious damage & would be irresponsible. Trying to decide where to ride out #typhoon. I think lobby's gonna get interesting in eyewall, & it'd be magical to view eye from highrise. So I'm hesitant to leave.

My hotel on Hailing Island was damaged by #Typhoon #RAGASA's explosive gusts. But what struck me was the almost complete mowing down of trees on certain parts of the property—like this one. By the time the eye arrived, barely a tree was left standing in this shady, green plaza.

Oldie But Goodie. On a scale of 1 to 10, how sexy is this? 11? 12?

Woke up to this strange view. The window above my bed. Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi.

Racing down Beach Boulevard in Bay Saint Louis. I thought I was being a freak in complete anonymity, but a fan busted me. (Nice to meet you and your family, April. 🙂)

In the eye of #Hurricane #MILTON in Downtown Sarasota #Florida. A deeply calm, meditative eye. Absolutely spectacular.

8:35 pm. In the eye of #Hurricane #MILTON in Downtown Sarasota. A dead-calm eye. Dead. Calm. Pretty tripping. Destructive winds will soon return with the hurricane's backside.

HELPFUL TIPS. I've been through 82 hurricanes around the world, including five Cat 5s. I survived them by following a few simple rules. Check them out. And let me know if you have questions. I'm here to help. We're gonna get through #Hurricane #MELISSA.👊

Small taste of #Hurricane #MELISSA on SW coast of #Jamaica, just as we started getting raked by violent right eyewall. Belive it or not, this was before the peak conditions, when everything turned white, the screaming sound became unbearable, & we needed to bolt the door shut.

A wave got me. Crashed up over the seawall & threw me against the patio railing, then penetrated deep into the hotel restaurant. I'm ok—just scratches & bruises. A good lesson about respecting the power of water! (Watch to the end.) #Typhoon #FUNGWONG in #Philippines

Hey, from Ochlockonee Bay. This place could see #Hurricane #HELENE's peak surge. And this may be where I ride it out. If it stays on track.

Boom! No wind yet, but the sea is getting angry & aggressive. A tremendous wave just crashed over the seawall and into the hotel's restaurant. Tonight's gonna get hairy in Baler. #Typhoon #FUNGWONG #Philippines

Winds on #Hurricane #MILTON’s backside—after the calm eye passed—were more destructive than winds on the front side. Fierce gusts smashed or tore out almost every single window of this large office building in Downtown Sarasota.

9:03 pm. Wind suddenly picking up again. First just a rustle, now an impatient breeze. We're going back into #Hurricane #MILTON's eyewall in Sarasota.

The night symphonies have started. Especially passionate after the rain. Perhaps my favorite thing about life in Mississippi.

Starting to have storm surge concerns as #Typhoon #FUNGWONG approaches Baler #Philippines. It's possible the ocean might top this seawall, wash over the promenade, & crash into these seaside hotels. Like mine.

Thoughts from Baler #Philippines at dusk as Cat-5 Super #Typhoon #MANYI (#PepitoPH) heads this way. Do folks understand what's coming?

5:35 pm. Just outside eyewall of Hurricane #MILTON in Sarasota. No storm surge yet because winds are blowing offshore & pushing water away. That's gonna change as wind shifts.

One of the most treacherous moments of my day happened after the chase was over & I was heading home. Crossing the bay that separates Bay Saint Louis from Pass Christian, I hit a harsh line of storms about halfway across the bridge. Suddenly couldn't see a damn thing.
