No, its nothing like Camille.


technically specaking Camille was a central gulf coast landfall. I'll specifiy - Dennis will likely be the strongest hurrincane to make land fall on MS-AL-FLpanhandle portion of gulf coast

Interesting, it looks better now. But the 7 mb pressure jump indicates he is falling apart.

The pressure is extrapolated.

He really looks better on sateliite... I'm guessing the pressure rise was from when he looked ragged earlier.

That 937MB drop was 13:50Z.

How long ago was that?

I'm sorry, it may be slightly weaker, but a 7 mb drop does not indicate it is falling apart.

Pressure is going up - that's a slightly hopeful sign.

Thats report was when the storm was being elongated from south to north. In also when the storm was going through its EWRC. It looks to be quickly reoreganizing. Expect pressures to fall back into the lower 930s.

how in the world with all the technology we have can we not get current recon. If that 937 pressure measure is indeed 2 hours old i would think pressures would currently be lower based on current sat presentation. Don't get me wrong those hurricane hunters do absolutlely amazing work and i am personally grateful, but when i hear steve lyons talking about a 7mb pressure increase that is 2 hours old, this is potentially misleading

I agree. Looking much better now and the eye is contracting.

People take this storm very seriously. The latest satellite shows that the inner eye is fading. At the same time dark reds are firing around the new eye. The outflow is pushing outward fast out of the northeast quad. It should take take some time to regain what it had last night. But with an 6 hours it should be every bit as powerful. We are looking at a possible bombing hurricane as it moves inland....
