Not to mention FEMA is having to pull out of places in NC bc an armed militia is actively hunting them.

Question for anyone who feels like responding - I guess I’m used to ERC from larger eyes, or ERC’s that are more disruptive instead of the meld that happened overnight - but I suppose I was expecting more wind expansion than we see. Would you pontificate that’s more bc of the pinhole to not-pinhole-but-still-really-tiny eye, or bc of the meld, that the explanation was relatively “small” compared to what we’ve seen in the past. Or is this more I am just not fully understanding the dynamics at play here? Or is this bc the storm was already so compact that a near double feels small? Mixture of these things?

Extreme times, extreme measures or something like that.

I have to believe the little oscillations I’m seeing in some of these loops is the precursor to an ERC. Edit to add: who knows at this point. I honestly thought the radar out of Mexico earlier showed the beginning of the band that would start it but that solid inner eye has really held on. I just remember Rita? Or Wilma? One of them. Started oscillating around before the ERC.

IR showing positive temps.

Can’t get over this. Inflow and outflow unreal. Pinhole eye, seeming stadium effect in it. It’s just humbling as hell that this was a teeny weeny baby storm yesterday morning.

unreal.

It’s honestly bewildering and humbling to watch. Watching the eye still rapidly warming even after that pass is…I don’t even have words.

924 extrap. 158 flight level. Lord bless it.

Just in time for that SW/NE pass.

This radar shows the likely future new eye wall forming as well.

Dvorak having an incredibly difficult time keeping up, but raw T is at 7.1.
