The official first landfall happened at key cudjoe earlier this morning when the winds were 130 mph cat 4. Irma had a lower pressure at that time than Harvey.


No, I get that. I'm just saying that Harvey was stronger than Katrina.

#Irma has now generated more Accumulated Cyclone Energy than 17 full Atlantic hurricane seasons in the satellite era (since 1966).

Is that high enough to be away from storm surge?

He is so exposed in that location. I thought he said he was going to try to find something more secure, lol


Yes. He picked it for the elevation. He knows what he is doing.

weunice wrote:"Intensity" has to do with pressure. What was Harveys pressure at landfall?


Harvey had central pressure of 938 millibars at landfall between Port Aransas and Port O'Connor. Second landfall on Copano Bat had central pressure of 940 millibars.

Intensity is somewhat confusing because it is used to refer to max winds and pressure.

Going to be close for a landfall at Marco Island (official, I mean.) They are going to get the eye, but not sure if it will be the center of the eye. Official landfall might end up just north of there. But close enough.
