I don't think it matters what the population of the land mass is - otherwise it would called a "peoplefall" instead of a landfall.



:ggreen:

Kind of like "recurve", what if it hasn't curved yet? lol

That's 14 mb lower than when I left work . . . I was expecting the pressure to drop when the NOAA flight got there, but not quite that much.

Note that the web page apparently only updates the 1-hr image loop once an hour sometime after the hour.

Doubt it. Not many Cat 5 with that high a pressure. Even Felix had 929mb.

Didn't one of the models predict Earl to get to 908 mb last week?

Probably the winds are around 125 kt but the Recon hasn't covered the strongest area yet.

Gloria has 919 and was only a cat 4. Opal was at 916. This is a significant drop, indicative of RI, but maybe not cat 5-worthy. Yet.

The data set covering the NW eyewall is missing. Based on the 117 kt SE quad measurement, it can be assumed that the winds were around 135 kt at flight-level in the NW quad. That would translate into 128 kt at the surface. Given the pressure drop and SFMR assumptions, I would go with 125 kt as the current intensity with a 938mb pressure.

I know that is a long way off but if it did go West enough, that could be a huge problem with so many tourists and athletes in NYC and the surrounding areas. I wonder how they would handle that, but I suppose that is a question for another forum, haha


Meetings for New York started today, and plans have been in place for a while for situations like this.

I know the latest NHC update said he's still moving WNW but doesn't it look like he's moving more NW now? Maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me from lack of sleep today.

Thank God this bombing out didn't happen at this time yesterday, or the devastation in the islands would be immense.
