Hurricane Dean Live Thread [Now Cat 4]
NOAA/NWS ^ | August 16 2007 | NOAA/NWS

Posted on 08/16/2007 4:43:17 AM PDT by NautiNurse

Hurricane warnings have been issued for Dominica and St. Lucia as Hurricane Dean races westward into the Caribbean Sea at 24mph. This motion should bring the center of Dean near the Lesser Antilles on Friday. The increased forward speed of the storm has lessened preparation time for Caribbean Islands in its path. Hurricane Dean has favorable conditions to develop into a major hurricane over the next several days.

Interesting: a tornado chaser show on Discovery I saw recently found that there was a 90% factor in wind speeds of a tornado between Doppler measurements (100% measured at 100 ft high or more) and ground level (the 90% value).

It would be neat if it ripped loose and kept reporting data as it was swept along with the storm.

I just turned on Fox to see what they might have to say and I see Susan Estrich on there. It sounds like Susan anyway. Is that really her?

You know, it could just jump over into the Pacific and leave us alone.

Guess it’s a good thing they’re not trying an 850-mb run.

This storm reminds me of Hurricane Gilbert. But this one is probably going to hit Jamaica harder than Gilbert—and Gilbert hit Jamaica extraordinarily hard. I know Jamaicans are used to hurricanes, but I hope they take this one very seriously. Depending upon how it hits the swells could annihilate Kingston (pop. 666,000).

Eyes are blurry, the chair’s broke (and I don’t want to boot up the laptop or make the screen large enough so I can grab the wireless keyboard/mouse and move back to alternative seating), and my normal schedule starts at 0-dark-30 tomorrow. Guess it’s time to call it a night.
