A friend of mine was an Exxon Ship captain before he got fired for not vaccinating. Here’s what he said about this storm:
This hurricane will have major impacts on both West (total devastation) and something nobody is talking about, the North East Fl coast from the strongest Nor’easter in decades off the left lobe of the low pressure system as it moves off the coast. The NE’ly winds blowing against the gulf stream will generate massive waves. I sincerely hope no marine traffic is anywhere along the East coast come Thursday, as the dangerous effects for ships at sea will be from well north of Cape Hatteras NC to Cape Canaveral FL. in the gulf-stream.
Routes to resupply Southern Fl could be severely compromised, that could cause quite a shitshow. Glad you guys are up here.
I am very concerned for Tampa and points south out to 100 miles. The onshore winds will cause storm surge for 24hrs a double high tide surge, I have never seen that setup before, (though I’m sure it has happened in the past), it will be devastating.
