I fear those casion boats won't survive this storm with those types of waves along the coast.

New 4:50pmEDT data doesn't have Wave Height. I wonder if it broke or just can't measure higher.
BTW-wlfpack:(repost from another thread)
Yes! It is a Record!

Ivan is at 28.4 N, this buoy is a whole degree north of there almost...it'll take a bit before the eyewall gets there. Notice the pressure is now falling half an inch per hour...incredible.

Since wind reports are only given every 10 minutes we may not see the strongest winds even though the eye will go directly over it.

I think that if you go back and read on the thread that you started, someone has explained why the buoys aren't necessarily accurate in this situation. Obviously there are other tools that the weather services relie upon.

It must be out of the sensor's range or maybe the buoy thinks it's an error so it's not reporting it.
