ATL: LAURA - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[wx98]

She looks to be potentially weakening on IR. Maybe due to approaching land perhaps now?

Eye is looking slightly ragged and contracting. The contraction is probably holding up the winds in the 150-160 range despite the slightly disheveled appearance.

It seems there isn't conclusive enough data to go for the upgrade. The radar velocities at times have supported it but have been transient. We need to get a few more knots out of the observations.

At the exact moment I refreshed and saw Mark's radar loop, Jeff P. said "eyewall coming on shore". Perfect sync.

Yeah that flight level supports Cat 5. I guess we'll hear about it in 6 months.

Are there any chasers in Cameron? Just trying to figure out if these 150 people will survive.

Holy smokes! Lining up with that reflective sign was genius.

Jeff has 100k viewers right now. His intensity is a good match for Laura and he looks like he’s in a good spot for when it heats up. Wish I could keep my eyes open long enough to watch.

Please share the link. The link!!!!

This storm might well become notable not only for its cat 4-5 landfall and storm surge, but also its tornadoes. There's been at least 24 tornado warnings associated with Laura so far, and one of them even had a debris ball show up on radar.

The eye just got really circular again. Enough time for one more pass?

[Blinhart]

I've been in at least 3 Tornado Warnings, and now in a Flash Flood Warning. The wind is starting to pick up consistently, the rain has been non-stop for a while now. Will keep on posting while I have internet and electricity.

No, there's no where to shelter that would be safe. I think the chance of those people surviving is very low with the wind and storm surge...

[Hypercane_Kyle]

Recon is doing loads of quick passes, as opposed to the longer ones we're used to seeing. Using every bit of gas they have to sample the core.

[Fancy1001]

Yeah, I'm sure the NHC asked for them to do as much as possible around the eye before they push the switch on Cat 5.

I believe Cameron is about gone.

It was outta there for a second but popped back up (Cam 8/Cameron, LA)

[Texas Snowman]

Jeff is really starting to get excited. Things are really about to go downhill there from Cameron up to Lake Charles. He mentioned Hackerry, I'm afraid that the hunting/fishing camp there will be all but destroyed.
