ATL: HARVEY - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[GeneratorPower]

Jeff measured a pressure of 931 in the eye at standard elevation.

Not a calibrated instrument. Off by a lot.

Yeah, someone else with him was getting 945. Split the difference and you get 938, just like the NHC said.

[Macrocane]

Wow, Harvey is truly historical:
-1st cat 4 landfall since Charley
-1st major hurricane landfall since Wilma, putting an end to the unprecedented 12 years major hurricane drought.
-1st cat 4 in Texas since 1961 Carla.

I really don't want to see the first daylight pictures tomorrow, they could be disastrous. And even if the winds weaken the rain will make things worse and will cause more damage and could make rescue tasks more dificult.

[Jag95]

He recalibrated to 945.

Not to mention Harvey broke the record for most amount of people on Storm 2k at once with 1737 online

Now I am seeing other reports. Morgerman has 942 with some wind, so the 938 seems valid.

Yeah. Don't forget the most important records.

The disaster is just unfolding, and I don't think I'm being overly dramatic. People will need to be rescued but Harvey is moving extremely slowly now.

NHC has 938 at landfall.

It's valid

Hurricane Harvey Discussion Number 23
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092017
1000 PM CDT Fri Aug 25 2017

Harvey has continued to slowly strengthen since the last advisory.
Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft data earlier indicated
700-mb flight-level winds near 130 kt, and there have been multiple
estimates from the Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer of winds
of 110-115 kt. In addition, there have been winds of 135-150 kt
observed at 2500-3000 ft in the north eyewall by the Corpus Christi
WSR-88D. Based on these, Harvey is making landfall at this time as
a category 4 hurricane with winds near 115 kt.

Kris tv stated that people are trapped in buildings in Rockport and many structures completely destroyed. Police car windows were blown out as well.
