The "I can't believe Beven used the word insane" t

[gkrangers]

That should emphasize the severity of the situation pretty well...

[Brent]

Seriously.

If that doesn't get people's attention I don't know if anything will.

[Air Force Met]

I thought the same thing when we were watching the bottom drop out of the pressure today at work...we all thought it was nuts...so that's kinda insane

[Innotech]

Beven is the man, dawg.

[Pebbles]

I wish I was there watching the mets at the NHC while that was going on this afternoon. I bet you they were probably gaping at the recon vortex returns as much as we were.

[shaner]

You guys mean this?

AFTER DEEPENING AT A RATE THAT BORDERED ON INSANE DURING THE
AFTERNOON...DENNIS HAS CONTINUED TO STRENGTHEN AT A MORE NORMAL
RATE THIS EVENING. REPORTS FROM AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE
HUNTER AIRCRAFT SHOW THAT THE CENTRAL PRESSURE HAS FALLEN TO 941
MB...

I like a guy who shoots straight from the hip.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE 2 HOURS MAKES! AIR FORCE AND NOAA HURRICANE
HUNTER AIRCRAFT INDICATE THE CENTRAL PRESSURE OF DENNIS DROPPED 11
MB IN AN HOUR AND A HALF.

Man, what are they putting in the coffee maker down there??

[dhweather]

Unfortunately, it's only in the discussion, which the great majority of folks never see.

And the media is not tranlating this sufficiently.

He wrote the 5pm discussion so I'm not sure. Avila did the morning stuff this morning right???

[cccmachine]

Guess they know how the forcasters felt when recon gave them measurements from Camille.

Just noticed Stewart doing the late night/early morning lately. But I think you are right, he did afternoon today. Maybe Beven will stay on late tonight. I'm sure they are all there tho...I doubt theres much "off duty" now.

Agree - this is history being made, and will be catastropic, so they are all probably bunking there.

[jpigott]

is Dennis making cat 5 status outside the realm of possibility or is the general consensus cat 4. With the structure such as it is, warm waters, etc. what is the upper potential of this monster before it makes landfall

[dhweather]

I can not rule out a minimal cat 5.

[LAwxrgal]

I can not rule out a minimal cat 5.

No such thing as a "minimal" cat 5.
