This thing is STILL tightening up. The red cells on the nw wall coupled with the awesome look on vis(becoming a ball again)...leads me to believe the weakening was temporary ERC. Lets hope the proximity to land stops the eye wall from totally reforming.

meanwhile...thought mobile was in good shape, but looks like we could catch the SW eyewall again. we got the mattress, candels and food in the storm room i the middle of the house just in case.

Please be careful with candles...flashlights work better. We had several houses burn down here in Tampa Bay last year due to candle use in storms.

Prayers for you and yours!

Pressure probably rose during the ragged phase earlier when he obviously weakened. He defintely looks better now.

ERC plus cooler water caused that. It will probably regain some strength before landfall. It is running over a little warmer water now.

My guess will be a landfall of 933 mb and 135 mph winds.
