She’s not blowing up that big right now. At 5am the max winds were 121 and now they’re 125.
That’s not that much of an increase from when it was riding the coast of Cuba. It will definitely intensify in the next several hours, though.
Sorry, but I bulk at some exaggerated rhetoric. This hurricane is bad enough without it.
Look at water vapor loop. That represents potential energy that will later today be transferred into wind. She just more than doubled available water vapor. Ie - Available energy.
