So is this effect only seen in Category 4 and above? stadium effect and mammatus clouds, my favorite. I believe it can happen in any category as its really only dependent upon the eye clearing out to give that stadium effect, but i'm sure a more knowledgeable met will correct me if i am wrong. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoastalWx Posted August 26, 2020 LCH radar is working and sometimes is a better way to see exact motion too. Satellite imagery sometimes can play slight tricks. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted August 26, 2020 Winds above the surface, just about 1000 plus feet high into the column of the eye wall suggests category five intensity is just a mere arbitrary number, winds near 145 knots Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWGAstormdawg Posted August 26, 2020 KPLC TV in Lake Charles will be evacuating and WAFB TV in Baton Rouge will be broadcasting for them. The met at KPLC told his viewers if they are foolish enough to stay to have a sledgehammer or crowbar so you can get out of your house. 3 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
