Recon

Recon is just starting a run-through. Last night they measured 939mb. We'll see how that has changed shortly. I don't think I've ever seen so large an eye on an Atlantic hurricane.

Wobble westward...

Yes Chris.. I noticed it too... It would have to keep wobbling to be considered a direction change...

But still watching it very closely since we aren't out of the woods quite yet even though the chances of a hit are probably very small...

The large eye (and lack of weakness which large eyes sometimes indicate) is due to the Annular nature of this storm.

Very rare. Apparently around 1% of Atlantic hurricanes.

Read that pdf paper that Derecho posted.

Turn, baby, turn. I know it's not predicted yet but the sooner the better. I'm still holding out hope for a fish knowing how unlikely that is.
