Hi, MFH, thanks for all you do here. Hope you're feeling better.

Everyone, be safe. Thursday will be a long day.

So what? We've got volcanoes up here in Washington. Hurrincanes are NOTHING by comparison!!!

[Just kidding... really... honest...] :-)

good news from NHC....11pm discussion:

Isabel lacks a well-defined inner core and deep convection is
minimal at this time. In fact...satellite intensity estimates
suggest that maximum winds are on the order of 75 to 80 knots.
Data from a reconnaissance plane indicate that maximum flight-level
winds are about 100 knots so far on this mission...with the central
pressure unchanged. Assuming that the reconnaissance plane has not
sampled the entire circulation...the initial intensity is kept
generously at 90 knots. If the plane does not find higher winds
soon...it may be necessary to decrease the intensity in the next
advisory. On the other hand...since the outflow is excellent and
the hurricane has about 12 hours over warm waters...there is still
a chance that some re-intensification may occur just before
landfall.

Satellite and reconnaissance fixes indicate that Isabel is moving
about 330 degrees at 11 knots. The steering pattern calls for
a general north-northwestward to northwestward track as the high
builds to the northeast of the tropical cyclone. This motion would
bring the center of the hurricane to the coast of North Carolina
during the day on Thursday. There is confidence in the official
forecast since the more reliable track models are highly clustered
within 40 nautical miles near landfall. However...one should not
focus on a precise landfall point since Isabel is a large hurricane
with damaging winds extending well away from the center.

Once Isabel moves inland...it should gradually become extratropical
and then become absorbed by a larger cyclone in 3 or 4 days.

Ellis Hennican on O'Reilly... I feel it is imperative for me to say that, "Ellis eats paste!"

Thanks much!!!!

Maybe since tomorrow is landfall, we should ask everybody to just LINK????

Thanks My Favorite Headache,I will stay up as long as I can with you.

Prayers for all those in the hurricanes path. We were hit hard in Texas by Claudette, even though they called it a catagory I storm, it was only 5 MPR below a Cat II when it hit us!

We peons don't have those problems with dial-up! :)

I remember when FR threads couldn't go beyond 400 or so replies because noone could download them anymore. There was a certain beauty to it. I miss those limitations still.
