LOL well once the vortex comes out someone else is going to have to take over providing miniobs... i'm suppose to be up getting my kids ready for school in 4 1/2 hours.

Small caveat, the water vapor picture is from 0332 UTC.

Next set of obs could have the NE eyewall.

[Brent]

Eyewall imminent.

[Windy]

I can't imagine all the stuff that must be flying around the cabin of that plane right now... Probably all singing Kumbaya.

Seriously though, this is one of those storms where you figure that if a NOAA or a AF plane is ever going to crash...

I just can't sleep.

I live in Michigan, but I'm glued to this stuff.

[Windy]

And that's not counting the invisible users (like me)!

[oneness]

Getting too many comments in a data thread though.

[Pebbles]

I love when everyone is hanging on for dear life to see my next post... maybe i should make you all suffer and not put it out right away *winks* just kidding

I'm watching another board too... so if you miss something, it's going to be posted.

Probably very little is flying around the cabin. Not all hurricanes produce severe turbulence. At last report... no turbulence has been reported in this trip. At most, recon rides through moderate to severe turbulence with little debris flying around. Only during prolong periods of extreme turbulence do they have issues.

165kts = 170MPH surface

[Brent]

165 kts...

[Windy]

BTW -- out of curiousity, does the "1" in the long string of zeros mean the data is suspect?
