CAT 5 Hurricane Dean - Archived threads

[HURAKAN]

Somewhere, someone tonight is gonna lose their life. And their family won't care if it was a cat4 or cat5 hurricane that caused it.

At the end, that's the most important point.

That is true to them. But to us the matter of it being a cat4 or cat5 is important. Like your team winning the football game.

Speaking of MSNBC, I am surprised Keith Olberman hasn't blamed the hurricane on O'Reilly yet. LOL

Ahhh, but that 1mph is the difference between extreme destruction and catastrophic destruction.

162 knots*1.15*.85=158 mph. I would say cat5.

And there it is...get ready for the special.

[ZeeNL]

OK, the cat 5 is in the bag, now let's hope for rapid weakening.

I find that to be incredibly sad. I'm glad you're safe and sound.

[Cyclone1]

Cat 5. It's about bloody time.

Malas noticias ya que Dean ahora es un 5 con vientos de 160 mph.

[Scorpion]

Now we see whether Dean breaks 910

[jrod]

The NHC has declared it a cat 5. Does anyone know how the preparation for the storm has gone?

I cant imagine how bad this storm is going to be at landfall.

[cycloneye]

The Mexicans are not happy at all with this news.

[KatDaddy]

Ok again. How does the media get this before all of us?? Payoffs

I feel for the Yucatan. Whether its 145MPH or 160MPH is really does not matter at this point. It will be an extreme event

[tallywx]

...or hopefully go through an EWRC, ingest dry Yucatan air, and weaken to a cat 3 before landfall.

[JtSmarts]

From 1980-2000 there were 5 Category 5 hurricanes. Since 2003 there have been 7, that is amazing!
