Amusingly enough, the 2 a.m. advisory says she hasn't made landfall yet. I do believe that's incorrect. :lol:

^

Or not, just proved myself wrong.

actually, this is not that much less than Gilbert wind wise. When Gilbert hit the Yucatan, winds had decreased to 140KT. At 115-125KT, this isnt much better

If you are hearing live reports they are OK.

The windfield of this hurricane is already known to be narrow. They could use that Google to show you Cancun is over 50 miles north of the landfall...

Yes but point is you could hear the winds screaming...so they must be pretty strong (I also saw the palms being lashed).

Normandy, where are you seeing the live reports?

I'd be very interested in seeing those as well. I hope it's not TWC as I don't get them.

The map is excellent. Cozumel is about 38 miles long. Cancun is the little strip over twice the length of Cozumel north along the Yucatan coast.

Using the trusty measuring tool, the very southern tip of the Cancun "isla" resort area is 53.3 miles from the very southern tip of Cozumel. Cancun's old downtown is 62 miles, and the northern "isla" resort hub is 61 miles. Emily is at closest approach to Cancun right now at 69 miles from the resort hub.

Compare that to say Dennis hitting just east of Pensacola on Santa Rosa Island, and 69 miles is how far away the exact midpoint of Panama City Beach was from the eye at landfall.
