Here's data from an earlier ASCAT pass, which is good for visualizing the size of Humberto's wind field.

According to Bermuda radar, Humberto and Bermuda are doing their best Dorian/Cape Hatteras near-miss landfall imitation...

[wx98]

The southern eyewall is starting to go over Bermuda right now. This won't be an official landfall, but just about as close as you can get without getting one.

[Kazmit]

Winds have been hurricane-force for an hour or two now, I’ve seen videos of a roof coming off and a palm tree snapping in half.

Looks like Bermuda will have to eat a big part of the eye wall.

Wow looks like radar is down... they just purchased it few months ago... must be intense.

Yeah I just noticed the same thing. Went to check it and it now says it’s unavailable, so it must be some pretty strong winds

[Kazmit]

It is more intense than I expected. Latest wind report from the Bermuda Weather Service showed SUSTAINED 81mph winds gusting to 114mph. At least 80% of homes are without power at this point.

Station on the northern tip of Bermuda recorded 88G107 kt. Not sure of the elevation but still notable.

[sikkar]

An automated station at Pearl Island recently reported sustained winds of 100 mph (161 km/h) and a wind gust of 123 mph (198 km/h). LF Wade International Airport recently reported a wind gust of 115 mph (185 km/h).

...HURRICANE CONDITIONS CONTINUING ON BERMUDA... ...HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS EXPECTED TO PERSIST ACROSS BERMUDA INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING...

8:00 PM AST Wed Sep 18
Location: 33.4°N 65.0°W
Moving: ENE at 20 mph
Min pressure: 952 mb
Max sustained: 120 mph

[EquusStorm]

Amazing it's still strong as it is given the degraded structure; no doubt highly baroclinically driven at this point. Looks to be a much harder hit than I thought on Bermuda.

Probably Bermuda's most intense TC impacts since Gonzalo. Could also end up with a 1-2 punch like that and Fay depending on what happens with Jerry.

Most definitely the most intense TC since Gonzalo. I was here for both Fay and Gonzalo and they had nothing on the winds that Humberto bought along. My windows literally shaking at one point and I thought my doors were going to blow in. Thankfully winds have died down within the past hour and a half but all in all so far it’s ok.

[wx98]

Recon easily still supports a Cat 3
Extrapolated pressure is down below 951 and SFMR is still around 100 kt on the first eyewall pass

[Kazmit]

Winds have calmed down since an hour ago. Definitely a greater impact than anyone expected. It’s dark so I don’t know what the damage is like but I’ll give an update in the morning.
