Hurricane hunters are only finding winds as high as 100 mph now. The monster is dying. Interesting to see if the media is a quick to point out the diminishing risk as opposed to end of the world coverage.
Not a chance.
Hopefully, the media are following NHC updates, rather than interpreting hurricane hunter data dumps from various altitudes and translating km per hour to mph.
Larger size, lower wind speeds. She cycled and got bigger. May not mean higher wind speeds, but larger volume wind fields. She is sitting over the Gulf Stream. Have no idea why people predict her energy input to diminish.
Ike’s windspeed was ‘only’ 105 mph at landfall - and caused 30 billion in damage and 113 fatalities in the U.S. - was that overhyped? Go stuff yourself. You know nothing about hurricane history.
