The last VDM comming.

Correct. I personally think he was a hurricane at landfall.

[shaggy]

if it was a hurricane south of haiti with a pressure of 997 and a small red blob over the center it looks ten times better today with a pressure of 988 at landfall but no hurricane then thats certainly something i DONT understand!!!

Plane going up meaning the mission will be over.

[SouthFloridawx]

Well there were Winds and other data found that pointed to hurricane intensity. This however I have seen no data to indicate hurricane strength but, what is 4 Miles per hour between friends. I'm sure people in North and South Carolina can't tell the difference right now.

If they find data to indicate he was a cane, certainly he will be upgraded to a cane post season.

[emeraldislencguy]

it is difficult to understand why it was not designated as a hurricane--reallt thinks it has a lot to do with all the criticism they received about the weakness of the storm in Florida and the fact they dropped the huricane watch--only to see it get stronger during the day--it looked so much better today than it did south of haiti

[AnnularCane]

If they find data to indicate he was a cane, certainly he will be upgraded to a cane post season.

Don't forget, he was briefly a hurricane in the Caribbean, so he will be called one anyway.

What's so difficult to understand, they've been flying recon all day and have found no wind data to support hurricane strength. The highest they found was 73 kts which corresponds to the 60 kts they have it set at.

In reality where is the data to support it?

[shaggy]

anyone watching TWC right now just saw their guy on wrightsville beach getting blown around by ONE HECK OF TS....Bet its sustained 50+ wth some good gusts....

[JtSmarts]

I'm watching, it's looking real rough over there.

[EverythingIsEverything]

Yes i am watching TWC, and he is really getting knocked around down there....i was thinking something was going to fly by and hit him at one point. and Jim Cantore just cut him off for a commercial break lol gotta love TWC
