I've seen them loop around looking for a good spot to drop, but it almost looks like they are trying to rotate around inside the eye. The drop had a pressure of 944. It looks to me like they took some severe turbulence as the entered the eye. Likely a mesovorticy. I wonder if they are attempting fly in the eye. That may inidicate a serious issue with the aircraft. A mesovorticy nearly killed a crew in Hugo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if the dry air we had yesterday was both a godsend and a curse. I mean what could we be dealing with right now, but maybe we could have possibly got an ERC? It’s all conjecture and the dry air I’m sure was a net positive, but it can be fun to think of permutations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted September 27 Author Moderators Share Posted September 27 Goodnight Helene. As a kid I was at Normandy Beach for a hurricane. We were evacuated to Point Pleasant at my great aunts house. Like 20 of us. The storm came through mostly at night. Hurricane Belle I think. Lights went off not much into the evening and the wind howled through the power lines, shutters flapped. Terrifying. I was probably 5 or 6. Hurricanes at night have to be more terrifying than during the day. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpfalcon Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 High Cat 4 at landfall pretty much a guarantee. Not enough runway to reach 5, but it's been amazing to see this thing explode since about 5am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
