  1. Did the Hurricane Hunters fly this storm? Seeing a lot of "debate" about what this storm actually was Strength wise when it made landfall. It was obviously undergoing degradation from terrain, but Im curious. Hard to believe the lack of coverage for this event. Damage looks to support at least a high end CAT 3 and easily a 4 from what I have seen so far.

  2. Its pretty early to be wishcasting ERC's. Lets see what happens once it emerges off the Cuban coast in the morning.  The really tough call on this is the trough strength and the fact that 10 or 20 miles one way or the other may make a LOT of difference if it scrapes along the coast all day as it nears landfall or closest approach. This thing does not need to make landfall to cause historic flooding and surge damage.

  3. For folks wondering how a Hurricane can retain a lot of energy over the Mississippi Delta, here is a shot of what most of it looks like south of Morgan City, Houma and out towards Grand Isle and east. Its mostly water and it isnt any cooler than the GOM is. Will take a while until its over more "dry" land to spin down. A lot of energy to tap there. Not like the Ocean, but far better than dry land.

  4. You are not alone! I have pretty much the same problems here. One site I like for  sat imagery is the GOES pages.  https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/conus.php?sat=G16

    Also for radar "big pic" I use the NWS large composite full res loop.  https://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full.php (edit..HAHA just saw thats the one u linked! sorry)

    For in close radar with lightning and a host of other goodies.....I go to the phone and Radar Scope pro (paid) its worth it. Surprised there are not some better "working" weather pages out there!
