Irene Recon Reports

I assume that that would be enough to upgrade to a cane, right?

Not with 997-mb pressure and no 30-second winds at hurricane strength...

[WindRunner]

Good point. They definately wouldn't rush it considering how far out it is.

"Maximum wind band" only has 46 knots at the surface

[x-y-no]

is it 8 or 80


I am as confussed as a poot in a spacesuit

It's 8, I'm sure.

80 would be well over a third of the diameter of the entire system. No way that would stay undetectable by sattelite view for this long.

whoops sorry folks that would be 47kt

^^^JUST KIDDING^^^

[WindRunner]

Quit getting my hopes up like that!

[JamesFromMaine2]

ok I don't get it was the 74kts a joke or was what you just said a joke?

[StormsAhead]

ok I don't get it was the 74kts a joke or was what you just said a joke?

The 74 knots is real...unless they correct it, which I doubt.

[wxwatcher91]

ok I don't get it was the 74kts a joke or was what you just said a joke?

ok sry for the confusion. the 74kt was real. it was what I got from recon... I was joking about 47kts because of the QC for the eye diameter

[JamesFromMaine2]

lol ok thanks for clearing that up for me!

[WindRunner]

wxwatcher91 said it was 47 instead of 74, but I don't see how that explains the 70kts above that. 7kts is a little low if you ask me.

I think what he said about it being 47 is a joke not the 74
