I met with Dr. Bill last Friday to go over some research he and Dr. Blackwell have been working on. He discussed some of the eyewall replacement and collapsing cores research they are working on. Absolutely fascinating. He showed me a dopplar image of a collapsing core slammin you P'cola folks right at Ivan landfall.

I remember reading something about ir or a documentary or something can't remember which
I remember Gilbert causing a scare for Texas. The biggest before Rita. Gilbert made landfall on Yucatan with 165 mph winds and 900 millibars.
