    100% spot on. They will find a place that is sheltered from the wind to broadcast from, or will just hunker down.
  2. Wannabehippie
    As long as the batteries hold out, and they don't get physically blown away, they probably will be able to keep broadcasting. Once their batteries run out, that will be it it for at least a few days.

    Battery power, satellite internet?

    I am sure he will take video, pictures while in the eye, might be a bit before he can upload any photos/pictures. He keeps repositioning as the storm gets closer as long as he can before he hunkers down.

    He really has a nose for hitting the center of hurricanes.

    10:00 AM EDT Tue Oct 28 Location: 17.7°N 78.1°W Moving: NNE at 7 mph Min pressure: 892 mb Max sustained: 185 mph Hopefully Melissa will start to speed up, pull away faster than it is moving in, but so far still crawling along at 7mph.

    With 180mph winds at ground level, I can only imagine how bumpy this ride is in to Melissa at flight level. Looks like the eyewall is just starting to come onshore.

    These numbers are insane. Hurricane Josh checked in a couple of hours ago, said he is keeping an eye on things, ready to move to a safer place if need be. 9:00 AM EDT Tue Oct 28 Location: 17.6°N 78.1°W Moving: NNE at 7 mph Min pressure: 896 mb Max sustained: 180 mph

    Absolute buzz saw right now.

    AF plane got an extrapolated sea-level pressure of 905.7 mb
  12. Wannabehippie
    NOAA got a 912, 910 and a 907 on its three penetrations. Awaiting word from the AF plane on its second pass.
  13. Wannabehippie
    Hurricane Josh is in Jamaica shooting for another eyewall penetration.
  14. Wannabehippie
    Both recon flights on first pass have lowest pressure at 910 mb.

    Probably too late now for any weakening to lower the storm surge, as the waves have already built up. All that can be hoped for is that the winds back down a bit.

    Those mountains should help disrupt the circulation, and weaken Melissa before it moves on to Cuba.
  17. Wannabehippie
    What will help some is that the mountains have trees, which will help prevent mudslides. If it was a place like Haiti where the mountains have been denuded of trees, there would be massive mudslides, with little or no warning, causing more deaths, and devastation.

    The visible high res .5k satellite photo shows an insane eye, with the mini vortexes, etc. blob:https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/23d25d52-a94f-4476-b368-fed4d4c0dc75 The eastern 2/3rds of Jamaica are going to get raked for a prolonged period of time due to it being on the western semi-circle of the hurricane.
  19. Wannabehippie
    Maybe just a wobbly, considering how strong it is, like top would?
  20. Wannabehippie
    I hope it undergoes a prolonged ERC soon, which will weaken Melissa.

    Marshes and swamps are both wetlands, but not all welands are marshes or swamps. Swamps always have standing or slow moving water, and have trees, other woody plants. Marshes have grasses, other similar plants, are not always wet (but can be), but get flooded, usually along coastal plains, or near a river that floods.

    The fall colors on trees are muted this year due to this drought. We definitely can use the rain, but it will be too late to make those changing colors pop. Looking at the forecast models it doesn't look like much rain is in store for NJ in the next 5-7 days. One system will move to the west, in the Ohio River valley, up in to Canada. Maybe some showers overnight Sun in to Monday. I had hoped the system this past weekend would help change the pattern, but I guess not.

    No rain here since yesterday, but it is very breezy now.
  24. Wannabehippie
    But this storm is not going to have a classic nor'easter path. It will only get so far north, before heading back south southeast, with no cold air having the ability to come in, even in the heart of winter.
