ATL: DORIAN - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[Hypercane_Kyle]

155 knot SFMR unflagged (172 knots flagged)

Flight level winds of 159 knots. I think there's evidence to support 150 knots, but we'll see what the NHC does.

[supercane4867]

160kt flight level wind!!!

Cat 5 tracking into an anti-cyclone.
Now I see the hot-pink donut.
That sick feeling when I thought this goes sub 900mb before all said and done, just came back to me.

Once a storm hits sub 900mb does it take on any special properties? Has a sub 900mb Storm ever hit the US? Just curious...

The great Labor Day Hurricane 1935 hit Florida sub 900. As far as I know it's the only sub 900 landfall in the Atlantic.

The one thing that stands out in my mind about that hurricane is the photo of the train - blown off the tracks - lying on its side.

I can sort of see why the NHC held off last night, with slightly lower FL winds and upper 930s in pressure, but this is classic category five. We will probably be in the 910s before it hits Great Abaco. Sickening feeling

[KWT]

Still undergoing RI at the moment, plenty of evidence to go to 145kts at least, maybe 150...

Also pressure close to 920...still rapidly dropping before landfall...

[NDG]

Wow, latest pass by the recon on the NW quadrant is even strong than the first one!!!
This is insane, hope the hurricane chasers in Abaco will be OK.

It isn’t suppose to slow down until tomorrow morning I believe.

[Hypercane_Kyle]

These are some of the most insane recon passes I've seen since Irma.

I'm still skeptical of the "stall" that the models have been calling for.

[KC7NEC]

Wow-what a beast. I am very surprised that NHC didn't push at least Hurricane Watches in Florida. I feel like models always have issues with these monster storms.

I have lived here all my life and i have never seen such an extremely well organized tropical cyclone so powerful.just off.our coast. RIight now at the time of this writing, Dorian is stronger than what Hugo, Mattthew, and Floyd were on approach., the big major hurricanes that threatned Jax the past 20-30 years. It is frightening to really process in full. Just an incredible cyclone no doubt about it!!

I genuinely fear for his life here, amazingly dangerous situation and it's exceptionally rare for a cat 5 eyewall to make landfall in any basin.
