Grand Isle NDBC station reported 86 mph sustained winds at 3:50am CDT (1:50am FR time) - the station also showed a sigificant drop for the 4:00am report, though I think that is data corruption. The eyewall is now 21 miles away from Grand Isle.
Whoa.. The radar image I'm getting through Google Earth is showing a break around Grand Isle as if there is an eyewall replacement cycle and the new eyewall is forming at Grand Isle right now...?
