I think someone is catching up from the "Cross shaped eye" images previously posted...Not sure what happened after that, as I am, myself, in the 12 hour catch up mode...work interferes with everything

Maybe this one:

Not sure what else is going on....but back to Dean.

Incredible satellite presentaton aside...I cannot help but be impressed with the intensity of the outer bands well outside the CDO...

Wow...

I'm baffled. Where was the post that veered this to pixels and religion?

Someone saw a cross shape in the eye on one of the sat images. And probably a face in a pastry too!

I actually think that it's amazing that someone got offended by this.

Oh. Thanks. There were five ? interlocking spirals inside one of those Awesome Cat 5 eyes in 2005, like celtic rings. It's physics.
I thought it was a comment on the track viz I posted. Getting late.

[mobilebay]

Thank you both. I had all my links at one time, but I had to buy another computer and lost all of them. Thaks again.

I feel really bad for Haiti right now....If this thing gets to close loss of life will be very high.

[mobilebay]

That Buoy is reporting tropical storm force winds now.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

It is just starting to enter the higher TCHP. Once it gets to 68 west there is a spot of energy like the loop current. In that is not talking about what it has waiting for it on the other side of Jamica.

[mobilebay]

I agree Matt. I have not been around as much as I used to. I miss talking with you guys.

[Typhoon_Willie]

Most unfortunate that the loss of life will be high if Dean does encounter the south coast of Haiti and the Dominican Republic along with Jamaica.

[mobilebay]

What was interesting about Alicia was it formed from nontropical origans. I think that makes it A very unusual Major hurricane. IMO

Buoy 42059 looks like it's in position to experience the southern eye wall in a couple hours. Experiencing 39 knot winds right now. Pressure dropping rapidly--down to 999 mb now. Waves 27 feet! On top of 24 feet high swells!

AFM....Do you think that Galveston or SETX could still be in the path?

Also...if it hits Matagorda..with it being such a powerful storm, what would the effects be in Port Arthur?

HGX is possibly in the path...although right now I think it is a northern boundary for the track. As far as Pt Arthur...if it hit Matagorda...expect gusts to 60 mph or so...sustained at TS force perhaps.

what kind of surge are we talking about here?

[hurricanefloyd5]

this is a bone thought that Mean Dean could reach cat.5 and have a direct hit on Jamaca!!!! What dose everyone think about that??????

[Ivanhater]

06 bam shifts 300 to 400 miles north

[Ivanhater]

where is the ukmet???

Here we go again. Research from the LSU ESL has indicated that dry air cores (ULLs or ULHs) can affect steering currents regarding tropical cyclones. I have predicted a large number of systems over the years with good accuracy. I was wrong with Katrina and Rita because they created their own environments. Further research is being done by Dr. Hsu at LSU regarding this matter. Science and reason rule, not supernatural nonsense. Thank you
