given the limited info, I looked up transmission towers near the eastern Jefferson parish bank and downtown, and found this area. I’m guessing one of these big boys came down In this area.

Jocco guy still outside the innermost core. It’s close by, but probably 5-10 miles south. Doubt he’s seeing anything over 100mph at this point. (Maybe close). But not 150… you’d have that whiteout - misty look to the wind blowing if he did.

Yea… lol. Was just thinking that.

Disappointed they didn’t head for the NE quad first..

Believe same thing happens with Micheal prior to landfall.

Looks like dropsonde was only 950mb with 7knots?

Is that like 7-10 mb deeper in an hour?

wow…

That’s AF303 you’re seeing AF302 is still enroute

Looks like 116 knot FL winds .. not sure if fully sampled. It’s close in Tidbits site

I’ll guess 120 for S&G’s.. but maybe 115 could be realistic (knots)

Frictional convergence/orographical lift off the mountains. Wasn’t exactly invoked by the eye producing its own hot tower via oceanic content. Rather lift off the mountain range , probably just really good timing.

Adjacent hot towers going up on each side of the center.. I’d say she’s getting ready to go to town.

Looks like a decent WNW** shift if the center on that last past compared to the 1st?

Remember the other day when we said “well at least the core of the winds will be small and centered around the eye??”.. good times.
