EPAC: ODILE - Remnants

[CrazyC83]

When was the last time a hurricane like this was intensifying at landfall in a chaseable area in the NHC AOR? I'd say Carlotta 12.

Agreed Carlotta, unless you could get to Cuba for Sandy.

Idk why iCyclone didn't chase that. Those observations would have been interesting.

Ernesto on the Yucatan. That;s how it was determined that it was a cat 2

Good call, I forgot about Ernesto. Though that's not a very chaseable area.

10:35 pm. It's calming. Yes, I thing calming, praise the Lord. Barometer just dipping down to 949 mb now.

Halfway there.

Carlotta weakened just slightly at landfall due to land interaction. Unfortunately Baja doesn't have that much mountain terrains to quickly weaken an approaching storm as mainland Mexico does

There are plenty of mountains on Baja.

Yeah I think Icyclone is in the Eye now.

[CrazyC83]

Satellite showing landfall happening now.

[Sanibel]

Landfall on last frame.

[Yellow Evan]

0430z frame shows it has moved ashore.

[CrazyC83]

Los Cabos International Airport - 30 miles from the landfall point - reporting hurricane force sustained winds now.

[Yellow Evan]

I'd give this 115/928 personally.

On another note, I'm off to bed. Won't be up till 11:30z (4:30 AM my time).

[supercane4867]

Will NHC issues an update statement for landfall?

Will NHC issues an update statement for landfall?

They should very soon.

[TheProfessor]

I hope this doesn't come off wrong but this is my first experience of a major hurricane hitting a popular area in North America on Storm2k, and with icyclone's it feels like The first significant winter storm of the year in North Texas or a tornado affecting a populated area with chasers tailing it.
