I do not know of any stadium effect eyewall pictures ever taken from the ground.  I have told Josh many times that would be a million dollar shot.  Wow, to be in a daytime eye and get pictures of the one of the strongest (or strongest) storms ever to hit the planet is just an epic feat!  I know I am nervous for him but for a life long chaser he may achieve the ultimate feat.  I am wishing him luck, what an adventure he will have the next few hours.  He may never want to chase Cat's 1 and 2's again.  Good luck Josh! Does anyone know the exact location in Talcoban City he is in?

From FB:

6:30 am. Gusts getting violent-- flying tin and branches. Some gusts have an unearthly, feminine howl that gives me the creeps. 974.6 mb and falling. Might be my last update.

 

 

"Might be my last update"

 

... for a while

 

Hopefully. ;)
