TS Ileana in the east pac.

It would be incredible to see a hypothetical high end hurricane perfectly follow the contours of the gulf of California. Waters plenty warm and just wide enough if you could get that perfect track. Also you might get the tightening micro cave effect that often occurs in the southern bay of Campeche due to mountain interactions.

Yagi ended up causing horrible flooding in Myanmar. Hundreds of deaths were reported there, as well as in Vietnam.
So far it’s the sixth-costliest typhoon on record, with $14 billion in damages, mostly in China. 
Bebinca just made landfall in Shanghai as a marginal 65-kt typhoon.
 
Wrong thread, sir.

TS John may not be a TS for long. Obvious cyan ring centrally aligned within very deep convection. Clearly, the mid and low level vortex is stacked and this TC is taking off. This is going to be a hurricane prior to landfall, and unless shear gets in the way to disrupt the current structure, it may be a significant one. Plenty of time for rapid intensification to occur when it's slowly moving towards the coast.

@Windspeed no doubt, last night when I saw that convection pinwheeling I thought this one is something different.  Now we have an eye about to pop.  They need hurricane warnings for mexico.  Major Otis vibes with this

Good call-they now have it as a major heading into MX

We won't have recon until mid-day tomorrow. John will be very near the shoreline and most likely a major hurricane by then. Given the slow crawl inland into mountainous terrain, the flooding potential with this is out the roof.

Is John’s windfield actually as small as it’s shown by the NHC? I can barely make out the hurricane-force winds here. The system doesn’t look like a microcane on satellite imagery to me.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 10 miles (20 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles
(75 km).

What a freaking specimen to hit mainland Mexico while rapidly intensifying. I just cannot believe this happened two years in a row, though John is nowhere near Otis’s historic strength 

Should be a bad hit for the town of Marquelia (population just 14,000) which it looks like John will travel directly over. Hopefully damage is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the town is a couple miles inland.
