Completely amazing pictures Matt. I don't think we will have to deal with a storm of those proportions though. ;) At least....I hope not this early in the season. :eek:

Remember Hurricane Paul in 1982?

As a TD, Paul dumped torrential rain in Guatemala, causing more than 1000 deaths. Paul then developed into a Category 2 hurricane and struck Mexico, killing 8.

I say we are dealing with a 70 knot hurricane. Nice eye forming on Visible satellite. Cat2 or 85 knots at landfall is my forecast.

18/1745 UTC 10.4N 92.7W T3.0/3.0 ADRIAN -- East Pacific Ocean

NOt so fast as they are a little conservative.According to the SSD dvorak sat estimates a 3.0 means 45 kts.Let's see how the models do in their guidance intensity forecast.
