This is the ugliest Atlantic hurricane I've ever seen and it's not even close.

It's just one big Jose (2011).

25-30+ knots of deep layer convergent, northerly shear, w/ ~180° of backing, dry air, & Barry moving head on into the shear was the ideal recipe for pure slop.

Getting some pretty good breezes with light rain. Only lots of leaves and twigs down so far. If some of that heavier convection over the Gulf just offshore gets overhead, all bets are off IMO.
 
Shortest hurricane ever?

They'll say, "we've been through hurricanes before... we're tough... people around these parts are resilient... and every time they evacuate us it never does anything.... it would be foolish to leave." Then, an outcry from the same people because "we didn't know it would be this bad" and "it wasn't like this last time." There's a certain percentage of the population who is willfully ignorant and always will be, and there's not one thing that can be done about it.
 
People will always be idiots. Just like the economy can be the best ever but people wanna live above their means. Nothing to do with benchmarks from the NHC. Stay on topic.
