Isabel will be retired...

#1 Postby Josephine96 » Sun Sep 14, 2003 11:45 am

I know it's probably way to early to say this.. but no matter where she goes.. Isabel will end up having her name retired in my opinion...

Isabel will be right up there along with Andrew in the ranks..I hope she weakens and I am wrong.. but it's a bad feeling..

Calm down man....... It's way to early to say that this will still be a major hurricane at landfall. I personally think that it is currently on a weakening trend, and may begin to continue that. Plus it is making landfall so far north so it will get weaker the further north it heads, also it will be a fast mover,limiting maximum damage potential. This is not a doomsday storm. Calm down.

If she's already made it back to Cat 5 strength more than once the NHC will consider it..

This is a dangerous situation for anyone who comes across it.. Isabel will end up causing a lot of wind damage even if it is in seperate states, in my opinion..

I do hope I'm wrong.. but she's quite a monster...

Rapidly moving tropical cyclones (which is very common) moving up the east coast do not have a chance to weaken rapidly because of their speed.

Forward speed of the system can often times make up for some lost intensity. Not real sure how that works. Anyone able to explain that. Thanks in advance.
