lol sacrifice island will be sacrificed for the better of the meteorogical science. karl looks to be making a bee line for veracruz. should have good obs for this one as opposed to a major making landfall in a not so populated area.

Karl looks like it is taking a dip towards Veracruz at the last second. (Talk about a devil of a hurricane)

The city of La Antigua just up the coast should take the teeth of the eyewall (If Karl doesn't do a hard wobble back west).

There is a steep escarpment up into Mexico's volcanic ranges just behind the landfall area that should create disasterous floods. The area between the cities of Xalapa and Orizaba should see floods.

¿De qué zona ? - Choose "Veracruz"

Cámaras - Choose "1ro de mayo"

I hope they are getting people out of there! :double:

the people of veracruz are about to go thru hell. good luck to all in the path

The northern suburbs of Veracruz will likely end up in the northern eyewall at this point. The population of La Antigua is about 25,000.

that inlet or series of lakes s.w. of veracruz, that goes a great deal inland, should see a very high storm surge. winds are pushing alot of water in there. does anyone know if there are any populated areas around that inlet?

La Antigua might actually be to the north of the worst...

I think the eye should clobber Zempoala Aztec (or Mayan?) ruins just north of La Antigua:

nhc totally nailed the track. wnw once it left the yucatan, w over the b.o.c., wsw right before landfall.they were predicting this 2 days ago. may not have been exactly where they thought it was gonna go 48 hr. ago, but the general synoptics were/are sound. now for the intensity, well idk if we'll ever get that down. too many variables.

cyclonic chronic · #1416 Postby **cyclonic chronic** » Fri Sep 17, 2010 10:50 am

wow recon is not at all in agreement with satelite intensity. the t.c.r. might be a cat 2 at landfall.

Looks like Veracruz gets the southern eyewall and maybe some calm as the center moves very close.

Part of the circulation is over VERY high mountains. The highest peak in mexico is 18,400 feet at 19.8N, 97.3W; just 83 nm from Karl's center at 10 am CDT; 19.4N, 95.9W.

Latest METAR report from Veracruz:
southern wind 30kt, gust 40kt, 997 mb

shah8 · #1420 Postby **shah8** » Fri Sep 17, 2010 11:19 am

Maybe it's that the high north of Karl that's making it 118kts at 972mb.
