Hvward Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Found a 143mph reading on velocity surrounded by a 122mph & 136mph reading 65 miles away from Irma's eye. Impressive wind field to say the least. Could have been a radar error, but just as well could be an embedded meso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's say it takes one week. It takes crews to take that down. You are talking several people per Crain. Likewise, these are not emergency responders who are going to take these down. So even if it's only a week to take down, you are asking 100+ people to stay behind when all guidance was showing a cataclysmic hurricane bearing down on Miami. Those 100 people likely don't get out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
