Dropsonde and FL data would make it reasonable to nudge this up to 135kt. A little surprised the 8am advisory didn’t do that actually.

Believe same thing happens with Micheal prior to landfall.

That is most definitely not how you read that. It's the altimeter, which was 29.22" or around 989.5mb. Looks like he deleted both tweets fortunately. 

That's what I thought too -- but he clipped the GIF version instead of the flash version of ADDS, which indeed uses whole integer numbers for SLP (the flash version uses the tenths, like in METARs). Still, the lowest I can find from the station's METAR record is:

 

KCYD 291035Z AUTO 1/4SM -RA FG OVC004 27/26 A2809 RMK A02 P0002 T02710260

 

Which is about 951mb. The issue is that the station didn't report an altimeter for 90m prior to that and it was on the way up -- so we don't really know.

really hope those 28 folks make it

 

 

I guess they wanted to test their swimming skills. Can't think of another reason to stay on a remote island in LA with a Cat 4/5 approaching. They get the darwin seal of approval.

Wind gusts of 120+ mph (100+ sustained) on Mississippi Delta, these are observations that are technically on land. This is not even the eyewall!!! Just inner bands. This is extremely rare to see winds this high outside the eyewall.

This bands will definitely be going over New Orleans.
