I put together a satellite loop of #Milton's incredible lifecycle, spanning genesis, its extreme intensity, landfall in Florida, and extratropical transition. Its definitely one of the most unique tropical cyclones and I honestly can't believe it happened.

Had it not been sheared towards the end, its storm surge woulda been massive

It spawned wedge tornados like you would see in tornado alley 🤔

We were most fortunate that it weakened considerably before hitting land. We also got to witness the role of hurricanes in sustaining barrier islands

I still can't get over the wobbles followed by the rapid clearing associated with the EWRC.

Michael was 3x more powerful than Milton. True CAT 5 at landfall in Mexico Bch. Tight eye maintained into SW Georgia. Milton was CAT 2 at best. Eye wall collapsed prior to landfall. Another nothing burger spawned by @weatherchannel and @CNN

@DaDaBuh

sure can when its Nexrad and Harrp driving the ship... ~ !

what´s the color scale? humidity? temp?

Water vapor brightness temperature -- colder values indicate more moisture while warmer ones correspond to less.
