Radar and satellite presentation have nothing to do with strength. If recon found hurricane winds which it did, it has every right to be a hurricane.

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.

Areas around and in mobile alabama are getting pounded with rain. The feeder band keeps tracking storms over the same area.
What the heck are folks gonna do, and how will they react when a real 'Cane approaches, if this is what they have as a recent benchmark?
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.
That dry air is saving multi inches of rain from hitting the ground in LA.
