Wow. Didn’t the worst of the eyewall pass to their south too? I know eta wasn’t at peak strength when it made landfall but it definitely had completed its ERC and had a rapidly improving sat presentation not to mention the time it spent raking the coast as it crawled onshore. 140 mph LF is nothing to shake your head at. If there had been more major population centers there this would’ve been disastrous

You can faintly see some westerly motion on the southern end of convection but, as expected, the system looks extremely strung out. With a consolidated area of convection ongoing though this isn’t in the worst shape considering the time it spent over land. Would not shock me to see it organize relatively quickly today. Shear for the moment isn’t terrible and it already has a weak circulation and is back over water
-
Though it’s tough to see a defined center at this point, Eta is generating a large blowup of convection this morning

I’ll take the torch in November and the first half of December if it means winter drops the arctic hammer on us afterwards!
-
I’m just going to say it... the board jinxed eta
-
Probably closest analog, just a little more north.

For the convo about best looking storms we forgot a relevant one in this region: Mitch at peak
-
Plane must be dealing with radar attenuation
-
I said best looking. That giant cleared out eye approaching land was insane. Rita, Irma, Wilma, even Isabel all come to mind. Lend it to being more recent than the others but that was a perfect looking storm. edit to add Gilbert as well. Beast

Dorian was the all time best looking Atlantic storm

This is one of the funniest evenings on the board in a while. Good stuff folks good stuff

I can’t believe 2020 pulled off a cat 5 in November
-
Yep, they don’t get much better than this one, 2020 catching up to 2005

908 165kts

130 mph would be very conservative...
-
Without recon I wonder what NHC will asses as the 1 pm advisory? My guess is slightly conservative 130mph cat 4
-
I know and truly agree with what @Moderately Unstable said earlier but this thing looks and quacks much more like a high end cat 4 at the moment than anything else I think we’re witnessing historic strengthening ongoing. With the small eye you’re right, it’s allowed this raps level of deepening but is also extremely unstable to hold onto intensity at these levels for long periods of time. NEED RECON NOW
-
Holy crap. That’s amazing presentation for AVN. I agree, and this thing may be going into historic territory. I don’t think there’s a doubt in my mind recon would find a cat 4 at this point
-
Anyone have a classic AVN shot?
-
Y’all watching Eta this morning? Good grief
-
This gives me chills. She’s a beaut
-
You know it’s a solid storm when the resident board haters aren’t bashing it not calling out names haha
-
Let’s start a gofundme for the hurricane hunters lol. This site alone could sponsor several extra flights a year! lmao
-
Is it too much to ask for recon in the best looking storm of the year?!?! Lol. I’m pretty confident the data would be shocking compared to this mornings flight
-
Haha hard not to get excited with this one #satelliteporn
