Looks to be at 74.6 to me. Still a little ways to 75.

“People from mainland Acklins go to Samana Cay to harvest the cascarilla bark as a way of life,” Mr Gray said on Thursday morning. “There are 8-10 people on the cay now from what I understand, and there is temporary housing. If they don’t have radio to know what’s going on that would be a problem but more often than not they are in communication.”

Samana Cay is that little island NE of Crooked Island that the eye passed over. Hope those people are okay.

I hope this change in direction happens before it ends up in Mobile or some such booboo. I'll believe it when I see it.

More likely to win powerball on an aircraft that is crashing after getting struck by lightning

That is, theoretically, still a chance of that happening.

Looks to me that the eye has started to contract again......MGC

Monster trough that seems to be slowing down.

Euro still has this moving west even at 24 hours. We may still be seeing by tomorrow. It looks like it will cross 75W before making the turn which will again put it at odds with NHC again. Let's see.

[terstorm1012]

I think the turn begins in the late night tonight into tomorrow. That trough is slowing down (which was forecasted) but it is a monster one and it's still digging.

Then it's the battle between either the Atlantic ULL or the one forming over the US. Which one captures it?

(as always, see disclaimer).

Is Joaquin's eye filling in from bursting or could this be the first signs of weakening?

I don't see it filling in anymore than normal. He's gone his whole life with a clouded-over eye. A bit strange.

[drewschmaltz]

to me it looks like it just keeps getting bigger and stronger. Seriously, the outflow looks like its healthier now than ever. Does a clear eye help it intensify more? The only thing I think is holy crapoly this thing is a monster / when is it going to get a nice clear eye / when is it going to turn.

I heard that a recon plane was on the way to the hurricane. How close is it now? Wonder what will happen.

They are just getting to the western most Bahamas now

If you look at infrared its not filling in, its getting smaller...I bet there will be an EWR cycle here soon.
If you zoom it looks like there are small vortexes in the eyewall
