when you say shrimp people, is it a shrimp-sized person, or a person-sized shrimp with humanoid attributes and intelligence, like a character from Bojack Horseman?

Sub 900 is exceedingly unlikely, so it still doesn't make him an idiot for calling this one out.  And what does not knowing when 12z is have to do with anything?  I have a PhD in atmospheric science and I can't remember how 12z translates to local time on most days.  Does that invalidate my meteorological knowledge? 

You should know when 12z is dude. It’s something even metfan can tell you.

I just checked his FB page and no mention of where he is although he usually only updates it once a day at the most.

He tweets to his hardcore fans but facebooks for the peons

Regardless of how much you think Jim Edds knows, a sub-900 hPa "call" is simply not based on science.  Yes it is possible, but probably unlikely given (1) the relative infrequence of such events, and (2) the moderate shear currently affecting the system (going sub-900 requires pristine conditions).  

Where did he “call” a sub900? Go read the original tweet, written after it set the record for fastest bombing out...He said it could go sub 900, which you also agree is a possibility. 

Then the guy who doesn’t know when 12z is decided to school him on twitter and report back to us about it.

Why are we shitting on Jim Edds lol. The dude knows more about hurricanes than the vast majority of us. 

Not only that, the call wasn't even that bullish. Bullish for sure but not impossible.

Dude doesn’t even know when 12z is but thinks he knows more than Jim Edds

Wow, and here he said he wasn't leaving the states this year.

He’s not going to miss penetrating something this tight and cute

I hope he barely misses the eye like dean. He’s been hot lately and is due for a miss.

Hah! Got blocked for calling him out on Delta going sub-900

He’s on the Mount Rushmore of chasing and could give two shits about your opinion

Sub 900 is obviously tough but when it happens it tends to happen this way. The only thing giving me pause is the plateau it is working through right now.

not just heat of vaporization fueling intensification but heat of fusion - ergo rapid intensification still underway..

It’s always already the heat of fusion since solar energy drives the whole system to begin with.

Jim Edds is legit though.

if true that is good news

Mixed bag. Getting rid of this pinhole and replacing it with something larger and more stable means more areas would see enhanced risk of getting cored.

ADT is not handling this storm well. ADTv8 score is 4.8 at 15:30Z but ADTv9 score is only 3.9 at 15:50Z with an estimated pressure of 988mb. Just a bit off...

ADT is just god awful with pinhole eyes

The dropsonde getting sucked upwards is about as nasty as it gets. 

None have been retired, the WMO says they won’t, but I bet they’d change their mind/the whole system if delta is a nuclear Yucatán hit or a major US hit.

Cozumel has been hit by intense hurricanes before and will be hit again. It’ll survive. Their friend will probably be scared shitless tho. Wilma raked them for hours as an upper end cat 4 and it didn’t level everything. This will be a fast moving buzzsaw. 

It looks like the target version of Patricia 

Finally...a real hurricane.

Interesting comment from recon...

I've noticed the eye presentation on radar has degraded, despite the rapid deepening.

Lol. Why can’t we just get a new Wilma instead of this crap?
