I'm getting a 503 service temporarily unavailable error at the NHC  website.  I hope it's not going down. It happened twice.

 

Same - TWC should still get their infor though to fill in the gap

2 hour loop.  Boosted the contrast slightly.

He’s a beaut. Textbooks will have pictures of that coc and by textbooks, I mean websites 😛 Thankfully not blasting anyone at the moment, but he’s in the bathtub and there’s no way out but through some piece of land.

To put a little color around the Labor Day Storm in 1935, also known as the Long Island Express, the sustained winds were so powerful, beach sand was found 100 miles inland in NH. Cars 20 miles inland had their paint sandblasted off...20 MILES INLAND. Even if you aren't the praying type, you may want to drop one for FL.

I think you are thinking of the 1938 hurricane.  1935 made landfall in the Florida Keys.

That eye definitely contracted.   With that outer ring flaring up, seems like maybe an ERC, but that secondary ring doesn't need closeup a whole lot.

I think you’re right… we’re watching an ERC

Ah, you are correct. I'm not quite old enough to remember in real time 🙂  Stats are true though and we have a picture of my great-uncle's car sans paint
