give me some info on that windy looking at the satellite loop shes going away pretty quick it seems the eye was a nice perfect oval not too long ago now it looks longated and ragged she shouldnt be going into another erc right??? the cloud tops dont look as good around the center either not to mention dry air and a little sheer like earlier is destroying her west side again can u translate this latest drop they did for me and is the pressure still rising as well appreciate it i think if this trend continues its possible she might only end up being a strong cat 2 uno

we do not have winds that support 135 at the surface since this storm does not have the typical 90 percent reduction. it appears as if it was 80 yesterday, but has now recovered slightly to about 85

Derek im curious when you were in the storm did you or any others see any comparisons to other past named storms??? I was close to surfside beach when Hugo hit. He was a monster also. I have alot of respect for you and your buddies that fly missions in those storms. I just cant even imagine the fear that recon had when they first investigated Hugo not knowing how really strong he was. That was a historic story for sure. Glad to hear everyone is safe.

Thank you Derek. Has she finished the eye replacement cycle at the moment or is she still going through it and in your opinion does she seem to be trying to make a little comeback??
