  1. I'll go with 90mph sustained, gust to 110-120mph.
  2. We have such an array of tools to analyze tropical cyclone these days. Here's how things were done in 1973.
  3. The latest NHC discussion (#24 for future archival) is absolutely worth reading. Eric Blake talks about the worth of the hurricane hunters and Tampa Bay doppler radar. Wish I could post it but I'm mobile.
  4. Sarasota ASOS reported a wind gust to 53kt.
  5. 144kt flight level wind on the latest vortex data message
  6. Looks like latest recon may have found cat 5 winds in Ian.
  7. ProTip: turn the smoothing off. You'll see the finer features better.
  8. Watch the sun rise on Ian here: https://weather.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/basicLooper.pl?category=goeseastabimesoscale1&regex=00p64um&title=GOES-East ABI Mesoscale 1 - 0.64 um - Band 2&time_drop=show
  9. Morning visible satellite should be a stunner. Ian sure is living up to the 'I' storm reputation so far.
  10. Looking like the 2nd landfall is becoming a real possibility.
  11. Unless that's contaminated, looks like Ian is trying for Cat4
