"THE BUOY HAS NOW REPORTED TROPICAL STORM FORCE
WINDS FOR 21 CONSECUTIVE HOURS." from NHC

Buoy is smaller than Bermuda...I hope for a miss and fast movement, as the alternative makes for a verrrrry long day/night

Just listening to a video in hurricane Wilma (Cat. 3), It sounded like a women screaming non-stop. I couldnt listen to that for more than 3min. Hearing that sound for 10+ hours...Id go Insane.

Hey Hurakan, how far apart are Igor and Julia now? I have 1,000 miles.

[Buck]

Heres what Igor would look like in the GOM for size comparisons.

And yes those are the Antillies in the BOC. I didn't want to take that long making the image.

Wow, thanks for the image! This thing is so huge. Surely the biggest storm (in the Atlantic) of my lifetime.

Reading about Ike, a CNN article lists his diameter as 900 miles. Maybe from cloud edge to cloud edge, but not windfield. There is no real data to support that. In fact, I should go fix the wikipedia article. Igor is larger than Ike ever was.

Hurricane Igor is the largest hurricane I believe I have ever seen. To think Igor can get even larger in the future blows my mind and reminds me of Super Typhoon Tip. How does it rank for largest Atlantic hurricanes? I would have thought someone would have the answer by now.

The other point I was going to make is this is the prime spot I think in the Atlantic to produce the largest hurricane possible because there isn't much landmass in the way and there is enough heat content to support it in Igor's current position. I had the idea this was where it might happen and funny enough it's coming true!

[Buck]

Igor is currently the third largest hurricane in the Atlantic basin's history.

Ya like I said, I believe hurricane Carla that hit Texas was bigger, but I don't know what other one you are referring to that would also go ahead of Igor

[Category 5]

The size of the storms CDO (not just the wind field) is just incredible for an Atlantic Hurricane.

[bob rulz]

Are we going by gale-force winds then? Because going by hurricane-force winds it's still smaller than Ike.

ok I have to say it.. its clearly moving W to wnw Right now.. and not just wobbling eye....

[canes101]

I disagree Aric.. I think it is infact the "eye" bouncing around playing tricks on you.. If you look at the full view you can really tell.. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/tatl/flash-avn.html

you saying it will miss Bermuda?

[canes101]

No Aussie he isnt saying that. In fact more westward movements would be even worst for Bermuda
