Hurricane Philippe Recon Reports

[cycloneye]

Wow that was a fast intensification rate and will continue to do so as very favorable conditions will be in the area.Now the season is at 17/8/4.

[Hyperstorm]

Wow, I saw some significant strengthening going on, but never expected it to be a hurricane already.

Pressure should be plummeting as I type...

From a tropical depression to hurricane in 24 hours, way to go Philippe!!!

Rita appears to be doing the same... heck, might even be TD to hurricane in 12 hours.

Given it was classified as a TD last night at 11, it will be hard for that to happen.

No, no, it was still a TD at 11am though. Phillippe was a TD until 9pm last night and now it's a hurricane 24 hours later.
