Sophisticated Skeptic Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 hopefully we're not poo-poo'ing the technical aspect of this thread. I wouldn't mind breaking off to another thread to discuss the visuals of impact. The ocean already is almost completely over that boardwalk-like area.

IsentropicLift Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 This doesn't have the look of a heavily sheared system on IR loop. Dual outflow channels to the NW and SE are still well estabilshed and the colder tops are beginning to wrap around the backside. That camera is taking a beating and it's still a long way from the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Starting to look like front side and extended stay in western eyewall, cloud tops still cooling, anyone have the microwave link?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 any other webcam links besides the port bermuda one ? doesn't seem like any of the major networks feel like giving this even an ounce of live reporting. Just the port bermuda webcam alone would keep viewers stationed...ebola would have to take a back seat...for now. I don't want to get too far off topic here but yeah the media has completely lost their minds with the over the top ebola hysteria. It's incredible to me that even a major and very serious life threatening hurricane to our friends in bermuda is not enough to interupt the " breaking news" of nothing new happening. For it to be pretty much ignored in favor of obsessing over something that has infected less people than the average number of people killed per year by vending machines falling over is absurd. At any rate, gusts now to hurricane force at comm point. St. Davids is getting close now with 60 knot gusts. That northern part of the eyewall is looking more intense.

The Weather Channel has been covering it. Their has been a report of a tornado, and radar is showing a band of potentially tornadic storms embedded in a band headed toward the island.

Ginx snewx Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The comparisons with Odile seem valid, much better infrastructure in Bermuda and no super high rises but they still are going to get raked pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sorry to say they are about the only ones other than a 20 second mention every half hour between endless segments of hysteria on the major networks. Things are really picking up on the webcam. They aren't too far away from getting into the highest winds.

Part of it is probably due to no american news outlets deciding to make the trip. appears like full blown hurricane like conditions on webcam now.

The edge of the eye looks to be about 120 or so km from Bermuda, and that eyewall is looking rather nasty. It looks like they are going to get blasted by the strongest eyewall convection. Just in the last 2 minutes conditions on the webcam have become really intense. Can't hardly see the ocean anymore lol 71 knot gust now at comm point.

Sophisticated Skeptic Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 40 foot wave heights approaching Bermuda from the SSW. What was interesting about the typhoon in the Philippines last year. Was how the residents were like "if they would of told us a tsunami was coming, we would of left" which is basically what it felt like to them when the eyewall neared. Expect a similar type of dramatic surge when the eyewall nears. Since this thing has been untouched the whole way through.
