SPGF1 Buoy Reporting 60-65kt winds over last 50min

[wlfpack81]

Station SPGF1 - Settlement Point, GBI (w-ern tip of Grand Bahama Island) is rough 30 miles east of the eyewall and is has been having near hurricane to hurricane force winds since 910pm. So those in Stuart, Jupiter shouldn't let their guard down b/c a lot of action left on the backside of the eye. Not to mention that those storms will be able to maintain some intensity since they'll sit over the GS for a while due to Frances's slow movement.

I think when the entire backside of this is visible on radar a lot of people wont like the sight.

I agree. I've been using the GRWLevel3 radar suite that someone posted a link to earlier (amazing program by the way) and using the 248km view that backside is very impressive with a lot of yellows accompanying it.
