2. Scary stuff coming from the hurricane hunters right now. If this latest drop is accurate

Thats an insane drop in pressure in the last 3 hours. Like 12mb's. Hasn't been verified. Looks like 932-935mb's. Sustained 1 minute surface winds of 145.

4. And man, do I have the migraine to prove it.

I often get migraines when a low pressure system is moving in. A friend of mine gets them as they move out. On top of all the stress involved in trying to prepare for the storm and trying to get some sleep, I really didn't need a migraine.

5. NOAA plane just did a loop in the eye

935mb's on their drop. I would say the NHC will confirm that by 8am CDT in their update. They probably needed verification of the first drop because thats a huge drop in Pressure for a cane in 3 hours. Winds are gonna catch up in about 6 hours. Be safe!!

7. 935 just verified. Thats holy shit territory

9. When Hurricane Michael hit here it was at 919.

The level of destruction a big storm can do is mind boggling. Places like Golden Meadows, Fouchon, and Grand Island will never be the same.

11. I remember recon flying Michael as it made landfall

The quote from one of the pilots was "those poor people"

14. I am still cleaning up from Michael.

This one is going to be a bugger.

12. Is it too early to start drinking?

I'm in Lakeview in New Orleans and it's not too bad yet. Some powerful wind gusts, but not much rain yet. Power is still on, but probably not for much longer.

15. I would suggest that it is a good time for sobriety.

It has always been my policy to not drive a hurricane drunk.

8. thank you for posting this! Glad it's to the left of New Orleans, though not good for those who live

in the Houma area.

[Phoenix61]

10. Not really. NO will get the worst of it.

Better to take a direct hit than be on the east side of it.

16. Agree. My niece whose in orleans parish w her family

Said the same thing. They do have provisions & a generator. She's more worried about the wind damage than water, though her brothers did put sandbags around the exterior doors.
