Impressive. This is the most active hurricane season that I can remember.
This is one helluva season.
Maria’s future seems to be tied to Jose, so while he’s hung on longer than I expected, I don’t think anyone on the east coast should rest easy yet.
168 knots on dropsonde!!??!!
Spot on.
Enough is enough.
Yes—You (TX) and FL have had quite enough for one season.
Glad you are doing well.
168 knot winds in latest dropsonde. That’s over 190 mph.
2005 Atlantic Hurricane season took us well into the greek alphabet and is the most active Atlantic hurricane season on record. Of note—2005 also contained the same recycled storm names as 2017 (Harvey, Jose, Maria), with the exceptions of those retired in 2005 (e.g. Katrina, Rita, Wilma, etc.)
That probably means gust above 225. It is basically a 60 mile wide F4 Tornado.
This needs to go into breaking news...she may be stronger then Irma at her peak ..no time for eye wall replacement
many Americans in its path..starting wth the 50,000 in ST Croix which may get hit with the eye wall within 8 hours
recon measured 168 kts at the surface in the Northern eyewall thats... 190 MPH
plane is making another pass from the NW now
F5 really..since the tornado scale is based on 3 second wind gusts....(but that’s with land friction too...which makes tornadoes even more impressive)
Zello users just changed to ..maria puerto rico
Puerto Rico and St. Croix appear to be in the path of a much stronger storm than we envisioned this morning when we knew it was bad.
Be well above sea level and be in the most massive structure you can find hopefully shielded by topography that will shelter but not mudslide.
Terrifying. Maybe Maria’s eye will wobble to the south of St. Croix?
Potential good news that the eye wall may go south of St Croix, sparing them the worst.
I bet they did. I know a lot of you all used Zello during Irma- it seemed to be very helpful.
now 905-906mb
amazing
Added to breaking news and front page news, title changed to reflect current situation.
It is very helpful and sad at the same time. Right now they are trying to get everyone signed up with a location breaks my heart.
