was here for all of those- and it was crazy- this no named storm was nasty- caused flooding, downed powerlines, trees, ect- the talk around cocoa beach, and the newspaper was- if it HAD been named- people WOULD have left. florida today had some articles with pics- i dont care to take pics-, myself- seen one, seen em all. just another storm to me- thats why i dont leave-and whatever dude- i am here- i know what was going on- you werent- that settles it.

Well show us all the damage if it was "just as bad" as say Jeanne or Frances where the storm for which people evacuated actually made landfall as opposed to Floyd which missed even though it triggered massive evacuations. The hard data,my friends that live beach side, and my own observations since I went to NSB to view the storm say that you are exagerating the intensity of the winds. The were no 90mph winds anywhere much less off and on for 3 days.

@scombrid2 - look- all i am saying is- there have been actual hurricanes in the past, that i have stayed for, while others left- and this was just as bad-- I LIVE HERE. and i have seen people leave the area for much less storm activity-- do you live on the east coast, on the beach??? i do! so like i said-put a sock in it!

"""it was gnarly, and had they given it a stupid name- people would have evacuated!""""

Evacuation obviously wasn't necessary and would have been a wasteful expense.

And NWS does not name non-tropical storms. Sean just got named even though it has been TS intensity for several days because it finally aquired a closed warm core circulation down to the surface. We don't name Nor'easters even when they reach hurricane intensity. It's simply convention.

Actually I live in Volusia County and have friends in Satellite beach that didn't even loose power during the worst of the weather. So yeah, I was here and I find the reports from the remote recording instruments reliable. Had we experienced 90mph "throughout those three days" we would have had wide spread tree and even structural damage with power outages like what were experienced with Frances and Jeanen in 2004.

@scombrid2 go ahead and believe the "government" lol--what a joke-- i said i flippin LIVE here- and it was nasty for 3 days- were you here? no! am i exaggerating? NO! so- put a sock in it- and quit trying to tell me your stupid "facts" from a distance! i am a surfer, i fish, and i sail- so stop your ignorant imput. - IDC what the PAFB said- or whoever- all i was saying was- it was gnarly, and had they given it a stupid name- people would have evacuated!

TS strength winds lasted for approximately 60 hours at the immediate coast and were a result of the gradient between the non-tropical low and high pressure. Memorable for sure but there's no need to exagerate. 90 mph gusts were not observed at MLB, PAFB, KSC, or NSB. Some elevated stations at Playalinda recorded gusts into the 80's for a couple of hours one afternoon/evening of the event but not for three days.

@321haloplayer

I live here too. I watched the storm closely. We didn't have 90mph gusts over the course of three days. Not even close. It was certainly of tropical storm intensity with a few hours of winds at 40-50 with gusts to 60+ at several weather stations from MLB up through Playalinda. That it was TS intensity isn't sufficient criteria for it to get a name or we would name winter storms and other mid-latitude cyclones.

@scombrid2 yeah, i know- funny thing is- i have lived in Fla. for 25 yrs, have rode out several TS's and hurricanes, and this last no-named storm i was talking about lasted 3 days, had wind gusts up to 90 mph throughout those 3 days- and it sunk and beached several boats. they have evacuated people for less damaging storms- looked and felt like a TS to me- IDC what they say- Iwas here! and i live on the beach! the waves were massive as well! and full of debris!

There have been numerous tropical storms in Florida in October over the years. The greatest 24hr rainfall total for New Smyna beach was 21 inches and occurred in October 1924.

The latest "no name" storm didn't get a name because it never fully aquired characteristics of a tropical cyclone. Sufficient intensity and a closed warm core circulation are needed before a storm receives a name. That storm certainly had the intensity but the circulation wasn't closed all the way.
