Awaiting the VDM. I'd expect the update or advisory around 2:20 to 2:30.

Wow, that's incredible. Is it me or does this storm just not look all that great? Unless I am mistaken, the center appears to be on the NE side of the CDO.

Haven't had a satellite image update in about 2 hours due to the eclipse period.

Northeast would be the strongest, correct. (Actually the north-central part, but that is seldom sampled) With that in mind, I'd go 75 kt for the current intensity.

Forgot about the eclipse... I think that ends this hour though. I'm afraid we'll have a nice present waiting for us when the eclipse is over!!
