Yep, quite rude! All good though. It looks like it may have hit the railroad tracks just up the road.

The sting jet from Hurricane Isaias showed up in striking detail as seen by Sentinel SAR instruments. This marked the early signs of extratropical transition. #Isaias

If it helps your residency loyalty argument, the only allegiance I have to OU is they pay my salary soooooo there’s that lol I’m just glad to see them go down for Miami’s sake.

That was karma for Sarkisian dissing off Holly Rowe

@bxmatilla.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 8:02 PM

That first drive for OU went… about as well as anyone expected it to go. Just glad to sit and eat my popcorn on a bye week 😎

Just as I mentioned to someone at work that he was playing out of his mind… Welp.

Tornadic storm with debris signature northwest of Charleston #Isaias

Reflectivity and correlation coefficient data from Charleston, SC NEXRAD

We have landfall…

The center of #Isaias has come ashore near Destin, FL around 8:30 PM CDT (0130 UTC) as a category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph and a minimum central pressure of 971 mb.

@bxmatilla.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 1:22 AM

Agh yep. Just saw that report a moment ago. Oops…

@bxmatilla.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 1:17 AM

Yeah, that little bit of extra time in motion at 010 deg this afternoon may have just spared Pensacola from the brunt of it, but not good news for Miramar Beach and even Fort Walton.

@bxmatilla.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 12:31 AM

I believe we have a sting jet aloft on radar here… just to the northeast of Pensacola and west of the edge of the eyewall. Seeing 90-100 mph winds aloft from KMOB with it. Overall storm structure is getting messier as the southern half of the inner core is almost devoid of convection.

EXTREME WIND WARNING in effect for much of the northwest FL coastline (🟧). This is one of the most significant warnings an NWS office can issue which entails a potentially life-threatening situation. Winds in excess of 100 mph are likely, and people should treat this as a proper tornado warning.

The shear is here and #Isaias is feeling it. Note the "push" of upper westerlies on its outflow. It's strong enough to have made the eyewall very asymmetric, but there is not a lot of time for it to weaken too much now. Additionally, the tornado threat is beginning to the east with waterspouts there

To the east of the center of #Isaias, there are a few what I suspect to be transient, low-topped supercells forming offshore of the FL coast. Backed surface winds out of the SE and strong veering aloft could support the potential for isolated tornadoes and tornadic waterspouts in the next few hours.
