Moderators StretchCT Posted July 1 Author Moderators Share Posted July 1 (edited) This sfmr seems out of whack. I know sometimes getting close to land can throw things off but I can't remember seeing a 172mph sfmr reading before. edit. there's a 163 and 168mph on either side to support it. We MAY have a Cat 5 Edited July 1 by StretchCT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Sentinel Posted July 1 Admin Share Posted July 1 I do not see this weakening much do to land interaction. In fact, it appears the physics of the land may be assisting into further tighten and strengthen the core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin BuckeyeGal Posted July 1 Admin Share Posted July 1 When we were in Jamaica, there was a storm system that blew in while we were trying to go ATV'ing. It unfortunately canceled the tour because the rain/thunder/lightning/wind was so suddenly severe and long-lasting. On the shuttle trip back, we passed a plethora of uprooted trees and road flooding. And this was just a random summer thunderstorm that lasted about 45 minutes. I REALLY don't want to think about what Beryl just did to those islands.. and what it's going to do to Jamaica. Yikes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
