I stayed up just enough to see the eye clear on Katrina and was ill I missed the rest, stayed up to see Rita bomb below 900mb and yet went to bed too early to see Wilma get below 900mb because recon didn’t get there until 2:30 or so.

Waiting to see what the NHC says but it's probably at least 130. Who knows at this rate 140-150 won't be long

IDK. Cat 5 may be too easy for Ida. I think the Nam with it's 890Mb landfall score a coup with this storm. lol.

Holy s*** that was the most absurd amount of deepening I have ever seen between passes. 12mb in 90 mins?! WTF

Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft and NOAA
Doppler weather radars indicate that Hurricane Ida has continued to
rapidly intensify this Sunday morning. Maximum sustained winds are
now estimated to be 130 mph (215 km/h). This makes Ida a category 4
hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

NHC. 949mB
ON THE LATEST VISIBLE SHORTWAVE SAT IMAGES YOU CAN SEE A PRETTY GOOD NORTH JOG
Again, hard to see a scenario where we are not full tilt up until landfall.

Recon going home or they going to do another pass?
AF303 HEADED OUT AND AF302 IS INBOUND
Sheesh it is looking more like Rita with each new IR image.
I had said in our discord last night I wouldn't be surprised.to.see a 940mb storm with the way the euro was dropping pressure so severely per run leading up and the crazy 3km.nam being sub 900.
How, when, where, and how far is this thing from that 91F loop current?
