WOW sat pics are starting to look rather pathetic.... she looks like she's losing the fight she's been putting up with the dry air? Am I wrong, right, full of hot air myself? Input please

It is tough to figure out. Looks ragged, at the same time pressure down a bit and recon finds 121kts at fl level? Who knows. I guess it is a classic hurricane fighting until the end.

Not sure, but it's acting like someone bumped into something during the loop. :wink: Why is the image jumping during the last couple of frames.

Could it be because they scaled down the images due to network traffic? Just a guess on my part.
