ATL: MARIA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[loro-rojo]

I am listening to DBS FM 88.1 from the Streema link provided earlier in the thread. They are still on the air and taking calls from people, updating about the conditions and giving people safety information. They are reporting now their own building has taken damage. I really hope they all stay safe.

I do, too. I am listening to

I guess a bunch of us were able to get the station to work. They are in for a surprise on the other side of the storm...I suspect they are taking a look outside now in Roseau.

The radio station is reporting that the building next door collapsed damaging their building. Crazy stuff.

Interestingly, the eye temp has gone back up on GOES-16 band 10 (low level water vapor).

Interestingly, the eye temp has gone back up on GOES-16 band 10 (low level water vapor).

That suggests that it should intensify again as soon as the eye goes back offshore. So far the relationship has been fairly accurate, although might be off slightly - I'm guessing it was about 920 at landfall based on extrapolation of the intensification rate.

That couldn't be a more dead center hit. I can't imagine what those people are going through.

They are saying the eye is overhead now.

Man I really regret canceling this season back in July. Now I know never to judge a book by its cover, including hurricane seasons! Can't believe we are dealing with another Cat.5 hurricane in the Atlantic and the second that also is making landfall in just a 2 week period. Heck! The East Pacific hasn't even produced a single Cat.5 so far this season, this tells you that all the energy is focused in the Atlantic this year just like HurricaneTrack's Mark Sudduth said pre-season. I feel really bad for those in the Eastern Caribbean who have to deal with such a bad and devestaing season so far.

the capital just got lucky.. it shifted north they wont get the eastern eyewall. but really bad for the two cities to the north

The entire eyewall is capable of at least category 4 conditions.
