I should have clarified better, for some reason the last tidbit I tried to put into that did not upload. I wasn't talking anything damage related. The moral of what I was saying is that if it is not going to hit land, the NHC is not going to upgrade it to a category 5 based on satellite presentation. If, for whatever reason, there were to be an issue with data and satellite is all we had, then they would be more inclined to upgrade for urgency reason's. Cat 4 and 5 do the same damage but Cat 5 is more of an alarming statement. The JTWC upgrades cat 5's based on satellite all the time but the NHC never does. That's another way to look at what I am saying.
Nothing you said here is true. Please stop posting conjecture as fact.
Is this addressed to me or another poster? Not sure how this all works. Do not desire to offend anybody here. Only posted what I presumed to be a reputable source. Mea Culpa!
Look at the reply chain in the message, I was not replying to you. You were both wrong, and I don't think either one of you was trying to offend, nevertheless, wrong.
- Storms are not retired just because they get to cat 5.
- The NHC will upgrade any storm anywhere to cat 5 if the evidence supports it. They don't hold back on upgrading just because it's not threatening land.
Just to be clear.
