Are we sure this is the same Ian we were tracking yesterday? Good lord.

Lightning in the southwest and west eyewall as Ian makes landfall on the south coast of Cuba - usually signs of a strengthening, intense hurricane.

Re: ATL: IAN - Hurricane - Discussion
It's almost as if Ian realized it was about to landfall on Cuba and had to live up to his MH before Cuba forecast. Because he's intensifying rapidly right now. Will be interesting to see what sort of effect Cuba has on Ian's core. And I know many people here are focused on Florida, but Cuba is also gonna take a really big hit from Ian. Cities such as Pinar del Río (almost 200,000 people) are directly in Ian's track.

...IAN CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN AND MAKES LANDFALL OVER WESTERN
CUBA...
Satellite and radar data indicate that the center of Ian has made
landfall just southwest of the town of La Coloma in the Pinar Del
Rio Province of Cuba at 430 AM EDT...0830 UTC. Maximum sustained
winds at landfall were estimated to be 125 MPH (205 KM/H). This
makes Ian a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane
Wind Scale.
SUMMARY OF 430 AM EDT...0830 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...22.2N 83.7W
ABOUT 15 MI...25 KM S OF THE CITY OF PINAR DEL RIO CUBA
ABOUT 80 MI...130 KM ENE OF THE WESTERN TIP OF CUBA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...125 MPH...205 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...N OR 350 DEGREES AT 12 MPH...19 KM/H

Wow from 60 kt to 110 kt in 24 hours. In the end Ian more than qualified for rapid intensification and even slightly surpassed the original 105 kt Cuba landfall forecast. Raw T# is up to 6.8 (135 kt, 927 mb).

Re: ATL: IAN - Hurricane - Discussion
The current intensity also makes Ian the strongest hurricane to make landfall in western Cuba since Gustav in 2008.

That’s the thing: the environment was forecast to be ideal — very low shear, >60-70% RH, excellent UL outflow, high OHC and SSTs, etc — but clearly the models have missed something significant that’ll impact Ian’s future track and intensity.
Yea, I'm doubting it will be a major by the time it reaches Cuba, probably somewhere in the Cat 2 area, which is great news as it will probably mean less strength when it enters the gulf. Still thinking 85mph to 100 mph at landfall.......
125 mph

Re: ATL: IAN - Hurricane - Discussion
So Ian went from a 75 mph minimal hurricane to 125 mph strong category 3 storm in 24 hours, an increase in 50 mph!
Also from a 45 mph storm at 5pm Sunday to 125 mph this morning at 5am. So that's 80 mph in 36 hours. That's some rapid intensification right there!

I think Ian should serve as a reminder about future downcasting of storms or thinking they are going to run out of time before they get to point "x".
This thing just detonated, and after a couple of days of milling about it locked in and got better every single hour.
