And 2 of the 3 were in the last 2 years.....that might should concern us....geez

Lets not jump ahead of ourselves. Laura hasn't made landfall yet.

I hate to say it but it's only August too... Michael was almost in mid October

This can't be real. 225 mph in the western eyewall.

 

[WeatherNC]

This is a mean core based on radar and zero doubt at this stage a high end cat 4 will be making landfall. Absent RF interference, picking up several >200mph pixels on super res vel out of KLCH, higest in past 10 minutes is 210mph. At some point the radar will go down do to disruption of power and/or wind

How far up is that?

About 10k feet but I don't recall those velocities at any height this close to the coast before, catastrophic unfortunately

Some of this is from Laura itself but there’s some likely from the upper level trough in the S plains, that ain’t slowing it down tho, what a damn beast

How far up is that?

As above, it's about 10,000 ft. Here's some more info: https://www.weather.gov/jetstream/vcp_max

Pressure and winds seem to be holding steady for now. Latest pass 934.9 and 133kt SFMR

I do believe she is currently a category 5. Two passes have returned pressures 5+ mb lower than the last advisory. Winds can take a bit to catch up at the surface. Praying for an eyewall replacement cycle at this point.

I feel like it's a bit too late for an ERC now. Landfall is in 4 or so hours.

If I remember correctly, Michael was deemed a Category 5 post-mortem.

This is crazy. People has stayed behind in Cameron LA. The mayor is on the local TV station talking. Station is in Lake Charles.
