ATL: ISAAC - Recon Discussion

[tolakram]

Is the current plane done with this mission?

[cycloneye]

Is the current plane done with this mission?

Yes,is returning to St Croix.

[Nimbus]

Next mission will be the last chance to know if Isaac is intensifying before he blows through near Guadalupe. Tropical storms aren't usually much of a problem to the islands that have good electrical power infrastructures and few temporary habitats.

Its really too early to start talking about the SLOSH model and the west coast of Florida but I'm sure the media will be playing up any threat to the NRC. Most of the models have a significant amount of land interaction with the big islands at the moment. Hope Hispaniola is preparing.

[artist]

hope someone can pick up the flight that starts around midnight.

[Dave]

I'll do hdobs for a little while but need someone to pickup graphics tonight. Not quite up to both yet.

[RL3AO]

I'll be around dave to do either or even both.

[Dave]

I'll get you out to the storm but not sure how much further...about ran out again. Trying to get back so I'm 100% by Friday.

[tolakram]

Staying up past midnight is not going to help!

[Dave]

Staying up past midnight is not going to help!

What do we have on here doctors or weather people?

[Kingarabian]

I'll take it from here Dave if you want, go rest!

[Kingarabian]

I'll take it from here Dave, go rest!

Ok I give...go ahead and pick them up king. Friends...all I need are more friends. G'night!

Good night.

[brunota2003]

I will not be able to post until this weekend...I get to go play soldier (darn ). I will visit on my phone though!

[Kingarabian]

That's it for me folks have to hit the hay... Sorry RL3AO but can someone pick up #27??

[Nimbus]

Strongest winds north of the center near the latitude of Guadeloupe as we expected. Monserrat might get the peak wind speed gust later. They don't get too excited about tropical storms out there.

[artist]

I can do obs for about an hour this morning then have to leave. If anyone could pick it up at that time can you let me know? Thanks.

[Dave]

I'm up and alive.

[CrazyC83]

NOAA49 is the Gulfstream flight? That one is an important one IMO.

[KWT]

Looks like we have pretty much constant recon now! Good to see...

Yes looks like a lot of missions so we're going to need everyone who can work them on board now. Thanks in advance!
