SnowenOutThere

I ment to say that The photos probably are faked but Mistyped, oh well.

Was he/she there for Katerina?

Look, I went to that site and it is a conspiracy site but that is besides the point but for the last image it does look odd on the surface. Though we have no idea if 1. They did not photoshop the clouds there. 2. If there is an actual HARRP base there. 3. If we are even going to talk about HARRP we have to clear up it is not true, there is no way that this exists but even if it did how do we know that the station was on during that photo. As for actual explanations I am not a Met so this is just what I think, first judging the site I would have to think it is fake and two, that looks like a mountainous island which can cause odd cloud formations that spread out over time not unlike that picture.

There are a lot more knowledgeable people on google than here (just in numbers) and google wanted you to see this site if you are here so I am sort of confused.

Thank you for organizing this.

Maximum Sustained Wind Overall (mph): 130 mphMaximum Sustained Wind at Landfall (mph): 120 mphPressure at Landfall (mb): 963 mbLandfall Location: Directly south of Franklin (the coast of Atchafalaya bay)

The second that eyewall closes its off to the races. Though one thing that could cause problems it if we get a large eye versus a pinhole eye, currently it looks like it trying to make a pinhole style eye. With how the convection is wrapping around.

It appears that the large blowup of convection over cuba was mainly orthographically enhanced which we suspected and now the IR does not look horribly impressive or horrible cant wait to see what this thing is when I wake up.

Yeah, that why I think that a low end cat 1 would be the highest I would be willing to say is an acceptable idea and if the kids are older. I myself am still in high school and would like to case storms but that wont happen until I can drive and even then I am going for cat 1s or below until I am older because anything higher is just a bad idea unless you really know what you are doing.

I think if his kids are older (14 and up maybe) and he was going into a cat 1 or less than that could be pretty fun for both him and the kids but a Cat 4... well I hope you have good insurance.

Looks like the eyewall is almost fully wrapped and an eye is trying to form? Might just be over-analyzing considering its Friday and nothing is happening in class but I dunno looks like an eye.

Holy, storm surge is going to wipe New Orleans off the map

So in other words it has strengthened while heading towards Cuba AND heading over a mountainous island.

Wonder if Cuba will do anything to this storm I think the best we can hope for is a pause in strengthing.

Lightning now going off in the deep convection under the core which is well known sign of rapid intensification.

Recon just found some 64kt + wind according to tropical tidbits.

Looks like a new ball of convection is firing under the low level center now that we have visible back.

There is no way this thing does not plow right into Cuba.

Called it, also yikes that cone path.

After staring at this because we are not doing anything in school I have to say that there is definitely a closed low level circulation and pretty far north. Wonder if we are already looking at a tropical storm. Looks to be a bad scenario shaping up.

Well here we go.

HWRF shows a cat 5 landfall on the gulf coast by 99l of course it is the HWRF but the GFS also shows a major land falling by the end of August. Something to watch

HWRF gets it to a cat 5 and as always we should use HWRF as a worst case event but that worst case event is concerning.

Don't worry all we need is the gulf stream to reverse, sure farming across the Eastern US and Europe would be extremely difficult but I think its worth that sacrifice.

The scariest part about that is social media.
