Pretty big breaking weather news today, confirmed that Melissa produced the 2nd highest wind gust ever on Earth that was officially recorded.
The 231 MPH in New Hampshire at Mt. Washington stood as # 1 for 74 years until recently.
Reminder the 1999 Bridge Creek–Moore, OK F5 produced the highest tornado wind speed ever measured with a doppler radar at 321 MPH, not on this list. The list below is actual observations, not radar derived.

252 mph

CONFIRMED: dropsonde in #Hurricane #MELISSA measured incredible gust to 219 knots as it approached #Jamaica. Smashes old record set by Typhoon MEGI(2010). While not surface wind, it supports belief that MELISSA was truly historic. I feel honored to have penetrated & measured it.

New data coming in from the @NOAA_HurrHunter and it silences everyone at @weatherchannel. An official update will come soon but this real-time-data is EXTREMELY alarming for Jamaica. @JimCantore @StephanieAbrams

Truly embarrassing Saturday effort by the people of Long Island - clean it up.

@TradeTexasBig my future? no, because I have been moving away from the transaction space for a long time and I will not be living in a big house I can't afford to maintain with maintenance issues when I'm old

Talking to some San Diego real estate vendors in the real estate industry today:
1. Tons of agents have disappeared from the biz in the past couple of years. More agents are leaving the biz than entering.
2. Tons of agents live an overextended lifestyle and don't make enough to support their very expensive lifestyle including leasing a super expensive luxury car
3. Level of unprofessional, crazy, can't read, lazy seems to be at all time highs
4. Most of the deals right now are STILL elderly driven sales- deaths (heirs selling) and can't stay in the home
5. At least 50% of deals are HARD, very hard to close and rife with issues
6. City code enforcement in multiple cities are getting record complaints about property conditions. A ton of seniors and perhaps people can't afford maintenance
What are you hearing in your market?

Six year ago today, I survived #Hurricane #DORIAN—the strongest landfalling hurricane on record in North America (tied with the 1935 Labor Day Storm in Florida).
It struck Great Abaco Island in the Bahamas with unimaginable ferocity: sustained winds of 160 knots. I rode it out in a town called Marsh Harbour—in a tiny classroom with 11 other people, including toddlers.
The inner core of the hurricane was a total whiteout—all I could see through the cracks in the shutters was pure whiteness, pure energy. All I could hear was a roar. All I could feel was vibrations in my chest and harsh, painful pressure in my ears. The concrete walls rattled from the sledgehammer force of those terrible winds. And as the storm peaked, we had to pile furniture up against the shutters to keep them from blowing in—even as the sunshine of the approaching eye started gleaming through the cracks.
During the calm eye, I crept outside to discover what looked like the inner radius of a nuclear bomb blast: smashed concrete, cars torn open and thrown like toys, trees reduced to sticks. My barometer read 913.4 mb—the lowest I've ever measured. Our shelter was badly damaged and we needed to move—fast. My new friends and I hastily piled into the three cars between the 12 of us that still worked—one of them mine—and looked for a new place to hunker down. Anything. I drove carefully around the wreckage and just tried to do what I always do in life-and-death situations: STAY ZEN, STAY FOCUSED. My biggest fear was getting caught on the road when the backside winds started up. We would die. Thank God, we found another building and managed to cram inside just as the hurricane winds started up again.
The aftermath was unimaginable. The level of destruction and human misery was worse than anything I've witnessed since Super Typhoon HAIYAN in the Philippines back in 2013. I was trapped on the island for a few days—living in my car, strictly rationing my food and water, and trying to be helpful in whatever ways I could—until I managed to get off the island and back to civilization.
From a meteorological standpoint, I do not expect to top this feat—of perfectly penetrating the stadium eye of such an intense hurricane. The data I captured were incredible—the core gradients I measured in the inner eyewall.
I documented the entire experience on video—the link is in my next post.
