Another HDOB with recon circling the eye, hopefully this is for data collection and they're not having trouble penetrating the eyewall. There was an 892.3mb extrap measurement.

Latest set of data has extrap down to 892.3 mb. While they are less reliable than dropsonades (as people are discussing above), it could indicate that Melissa is still deepening.
There's another reading of 892.7 mb.

There's another reading of 892.7 mb.

Likely more intense than Milton now. Maybe 894mb?

Impressive. Yesterday evening (as per my posts) I was thinking he might have to go to Savanna-la-Mar or even further west to be sure of getting the eyewall. Did not expect it to take on that much of an easterly component of motion that quickly.

Thank God the plane was able to leave the eye. What a historic, unforgettable and possibly painful ride for the crew.

looks like his exact coordinate is 18.0438501, -77.9104967 just by comparing the building structure on his pics to the Sat image in google maps
