ATL: MARIA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Hurrilurker]

All eyes on Dominica but Guadeloupe should already be getting hammered pretty good.

[Aric Dunn]

Dr. Rick Nabb at TWC pretty much reinforcing the idea that anyone from Florida up the east coast should continue to watch this.

Im glad there is a good MET not writing it off... people need to realize things are likely to change quite a bit.

yeah if this nnw /nw wobble continues too much longer the SW coast of Guadeloupe might get part of the inner eyewall.. nor sure the population there .. but not good either way.

[Hurricane Cheese]

Awesome, I have Q95.1 on now

Crazy! With this image of the hurricane's eye in the middle of Dominica, it actually looks like Dominica itself is a human eye.

[Raebie]

A more direct hit is not even possible. Wow.

Right as i'm from Guadeloupe. We are really worrying here, winds have picking up nicely in many areas of Guadeloupe. We're waiting for huge rainfall amounts of 200 milimeters, waves up to 10 meters, very strongs winds of 110 kts in the southern side of the islands... busy night and hours... Keeping our fingers crossed.

2017 It's only the 7th Atlantic season to have more than 1 category 5 hurricane and it's only the 2nd time that 2 hurricanes make landfall at that intensity in the same season.

I wonder what the record is for intensification in, say, a 5 hour period?

(Edit: "Intensification to Cat 5")

Forrest '83 and Wilma '05 may be the best starting points. Storms like Felix '07, Genevieve '14, and the preliminary data for Noru '17 may also be worth a look.

Should also probably throw Ida '58 and Irma '71 in there too.

This weather station stopped reporting as eyewall neared.

With the wobble NW more of the island is seeing the eyewall... not good. I’m concerned about what may happen in PR too. I hope they’re prepared.

Stay safe and keep us informed Gusty. Prayers for you and your island.

It's moving NW so Guadeloupe needs to be prepared!

They are talking about the help they are getting from the US.

Insane image. Do not like this exit of Dominica in a NNW motion bringing very bad conditions on the SW side of Guadeloupe near les Saintes and close to the localitu of Basse-Terre meaning very strong winds if Maria stay on that track. Crucial hours of us before the arrival Maria maybe near 2 or 3 AM tommorow...

[Sanibel]

The whole island got some portion of the eyewall...Roseau was in the SW eyewall...

[PTPatrick]

Wow, 2 category 5's sweeping through the islands in one season. I heard Somebody saying we need a "Marshall Plan" to rebuild the islands...after this, I imagine that's about right. I mean most if the islands spared by irma's northern track are getting hit now. St croix was spared and looks to be hit hard, as does purto rico. Thankfully maria is much tighter and weaker than irma, but a 5 is a 5! Keeping everyone down there in my thoughts...hang in there!

[Aric Dunn]

outer eyewall looks like its starting to get stronger and more defined... wonder how long this process with take .. irma was quick..

[Gustywind]

We are prepared... thanks
