The beachhouse across the channel [or road] has been doing some wild contortions on it's pilings for a while. With the eye just about to touch GI, it may be gone soon. At the rate conditions are going downhill at that location I doubt it will be on for more than another 30 minutes or so. I give a lot of credit to who ever set it up. That feed ranks with the overnight footage seen from the eye of Gonzalo in Bermuda in 2014. Perfectly calm, pitch black conditions with frogs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo762 Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Recon data in NW eyewall: FL winds of 111kt, and SFMR of 101kt. Still cranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is powerful indeed. Outside eyewall I'd say. Kudos to whoever set up the cam. Great that it has stayed online. Must be a strong cell tower.

It's basically the largest. Port Fourchon currently services over 90% of the Gulf of Mexico's deepwater oil production. There are over 600 oil platforms within a 40-mile radius of Port Fourchon. This area furnishes 16-18% of the US oil supply. So get ready for a bump at the pump over the next few weeks. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csnavywx Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Saw that cooler and other trash. Sherriff of Grand Isle on the phone on TWC said their sensor reached 148mph (prob a gust) before breaking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge amount of garage, storage room, kitchen debris has been rocketing past the cam. Wind has shifted alm90deg. Was SE, right to left in the canal, now it's SW.

Nope just a moat, inner eyewall is gonna at least skirt the area. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
