Ok thanks RL3AO, I can see what they mean by the way the outflow is getting restricted on the eastern side tohugh the outflow is still very good on the western side. We shall have to wait and see the models are never really that good when it comes to forecasting shear but within 36hrs I'd like to think they will make a good call...I think though that 24hrs its going to be a good deal stronger then 85kts...

Ed, I'm not so keeen on the Gloria comprasion, it bends NW far too soon compared to what will happen with Ike, Floyd, the 1893 storm and Donna all look like being more reasonable forecasts...though the track once Ike does recurve may be close IMO.

that graphic shows that it's actually extremely rare for a cane NOT to recurve out to sea when it's in this position.

Thanks for your concern! The entire island has been boarded up since Monday with Hanna expected to pass through. Doesn't even look like we'll get much rain from her now... just a breezy couple of days.

I believe this now may be as high as 85 knots. I have no idea why the NHC kept it a TS for so long just because of one Objective number was lower!? That's absurd. I would lean more on observing what its doing on satellite instead of relying on a machine. Now with the reds appearing on AVN and a building eyewall, 90-95 knots in the next 12 hours is possible IMO.

It would have to basically turn NNW right now you realize?

That one lone analog in 1893 was a devastating storm - the Sea Islands Hurricane killed about 2,000 in Georgia and South Carolina despite being only a Category 2 at landfall.

Not quite. The 1872 storm and Carrie (1957) were still both moving WNW at that point although they were within 24 hours of recurving.

CrazyC83, those numbers do seem to be steadily increasing, was at 3.8 about 3hrs now upto 3.9 and I think we see increasingly impressive rises in the Dvorak estimate over the next 12-24hrs given how well cleared out the eye has become on IR.

The 6.2 Raw T# suggests rapid deepening is possible. This has some resemblence to Hurricane Carrie (1957) at this point.

IKE: "Intense Killing Engine" or "Intense Kinetic Energy"

Lets hope it doesn't verify. Can anyone provide another meaning to the "K"!!

Yep Crazy that raw number is very impressive, the northern eyewall doesn't look all that impressive IMO again but there is nothing that siuggests this is not a 80kts hurricane IMO right now, that eye is pretty clear...

That's something you can only confirm retrospectively. You can't "confirm" if RI will happen even though people around here like to throw that term around a lot.
