So if I understand this correctly we have a 88Kt Hurricane, which is about 100 MPH (correct?).

On the left hand side.. you'll see where it say simulated radar. The boxes under there.
BTW.. this is very experimental... don't take it to heart. I only brought it up to perk up the late night discussion a bit as it tends to get quiet and the wierd landfall talk had come up.


Thanks, I am trying to learn since I am in the business of the aftermath of mother natures destruction!


Eh! Well then you probably don't want to be looking at that. It's such a weird solution that most would be floored here if something like that actually verified.

No you want to look at the number next to where it says Surface Winds
your looking at numbers for winds that are way up in the air.

Here's my dirty late night secret. A teeny tiny part of me almost wishes that 'weird' ride the coast solution would happen just to see Derek freak out. :wink:

But then I would immediately feel guilty for having wished such a thing on anyone. :cry:

Yeah, I feel kind of bad for Brownsville too. But maybe some of those desperately needing rain might get some relief. Have to try to find some sort of silver lining.

It's very likely now that Cameron County, Texas and maybe Willacy County will have to endure the eyewall.

Is it just me or the eye on the radar is getting smaller? Also, there is some green dot going around the eye. Could that be some little vortex inside the eyewall?

if this rides up the coast to Kenedy County, it would be a good thing b/c Kenedy County is very sparsely populated.

Mind you I'm not a professional.. but my thoughts... yes, and mayyyybe yes. Could just be some scut too. Actually I would expect to see some eye contraction as the winds begin to catch up with the pressure.
