Amped Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I don't really care about recon anyway until it gets across Cuba. Land has put Ida's RI plans on hold until tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will open shelters of last resort but not yet sharing the location. This is heart breaking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the issue of getting permission to enter airspace but more important, (edit: low level recon) over land is more dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming the long holding pattern was them waiting for approval to fly over Cuba -- again -- too? Not sure exactly, also could've been to fix potential equipment issues. Weird mission.

hawkeye_wx Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 A new recon plane is on the way, should be there when the center emerges into the gulf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptcatz Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Looks like there's one slim strip of mountains it will go over. From what I can tell the highest peaks are under 2,000 feet with most of the range being less than 1,000 feet. Compare that to the 14,000 foot peaks of Hispaniola, this shouldn't do much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 That storm is going to take off as soon as it clears the Island. Yeah the core is holding together fairly well. Could there be a bit of lag after it moves off the coast? Sure. But it likely won't take too long to ramp up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we see something similar to Katrina where within 12 hours you have this monster crystal clear eye pop on satellite. No just RI but explosive intensification. OHC is just perfect 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
