NO...

That was at 5,000ft.

around 145-150mph.

Recon had to quickly pull up to 10,000ft afterwards.

I hope it doesn't continue to rapidly intensify. Hopefully there is a fundamental barrier just a few milibars away where it stops dropping 10mb an hour.... :eek: :eek: :eek:

Well, recon messed themselves. They've raised up to 10,000ft to finish out the flight due to safety issues.
