It wouldn't be done if people decide to not make stupid decisions.
If you say it's weakening, your going to get called out on it.

Heres the deal guys.... "DVORAK" (WHICH BY THE WAY SAID CHARLEY WAS A MINIMAL CAT 3 AT BEST...WHEN RECON FOUND A NEAR CAT 5) said 3.5/3.5 on Ophelia. Then, this morning...convection decreased, the dvorak went down to 3.0/3.5. Now, it has deepened again and it 3.5/3.5.

Dvorak is tricky...with a hurricane like CLAUDETTE 2003...even though convection was very light....winds were 90 mph. With Charley...convection (I GUESS) was not "BRIGHT" enough, and registered a 5.0/5.5 something like that. However, the storm was that of a 6.5/7.0 hurricane.
