Thankyou! I am not saying she gonna be a cane for sure. But considering the conditions I think she is making a fantastic tropical storm. And that pressure drop says she's not giving up by a long shot.
Edit: 3 point drop is still a drop

Wasn't it 992 at 5 pm too. Just checked and I must have been thinking of 11 a.m. advisory. Nope I was wrong. It is a 5 mb drop.

LOL.. you know I don't remember. Last I check was recons and that said 996 oh couple hours ago or so.. so she's been dropping all along. After reading so much and looking over so much you tend to forget exactly what numbers you saw at what times.

One of the mysteries of nature... (the NHC that is)
