Yet, was it not 3 years ago, perhaps to the very day, that the world was watching a certain hurricane starting with the letter P, in a similar region and Mexico-bound as well, continue its explosive intensification during the nighttime hours, with recon being thrown in the mix as well? The similarities are simply mind-boggling.
This is nowhere near the voracity of Patricia. But it is similar in the sense you labeled. Maybe not technically, but anecdotally you are looking at similar circumstances and evolution. Patricia just had higher fuel, this is maxing out the fuel that is given for this stamp in time.
Given how rapidly it intensified, and the tight, small core within a larger envelope, and trough nearby I just have a feeling the pressure gradient must be intense like Patricia or Linda condensed and compact. In my opinion, this is pretty much a Cat5.
Agreed, it's really the circumstances that are most similar since in terms of intensity, they differ enormously.
