take a look at that and than tell me would you rather be nort or south of the eyewall based on that IR shot. IF that was landfall right now i owuld be in the coldest cloud tops south of the eyewall and that wouldn't be pretty. Anyone in Broward Dade or South Palm Beach BETTER prepare like its you because this is an intensifying system and they are more dngerous at landfall than a weakingin one like Frances. FLOYDBUSTER is reporting to me this mornign there are some tht feel IVAN was a 2 at landfall, well if these naysayers are correct and maybe at the end of the season when nhc does post-mortme they are anyone in the path of Jeanne the Florida Hurricane Machine better get rel concerned because this system looks good and thereis no reason it is getting less organized. Thats my tak at 5 am and my preps will be completed by 9a m which as MW pointed out last night in temaspeak, south florida is not nearly as prepared as they were for Frances and this morning after about 10 is not a fun time to be hanging panels in the wind and rain. jlauderdl enjoying Maybe another 12 hours of electric. Stay safe everyone.

Isn't that dark gray patch swinging counterclockwise though? Which means that it would be on the NE side in the next few hours.

This is not going to be fun for anyone.

absolutely correect but my point is two fold..1st, the system is clearly intensifying as max mayfield and others though it would, floydbuster had this in his 5 am prediction friday morning, 2nd, people focus on the eye and eyeall and figure well no biggie if i am not there, well if this thing were coming onshore now people on the south side of the system would be caught in that intense convection.

Well, if she's deepening in the warmer waters,
that gray patch will work its way around, hence
the cat 3 (maybe 4) at landfall. This might turn into an extremely dangerous situation.
