It crossed the skinniest part of Cuba, and quickly...couldn't have been worse for Floridians.

as was fully expected. Cuba has not weakened a hurricane since Camielle and that was probably an eye wall replacement and not the landfall

is the no pressures from not being able to fly over cuba?

Sigh, things are not looking good.

flight level probally 750 MB so -20%....it definatly picked the skinniest part of cuba to cross and it didnt waste no time so for it to cross 30-40 miles of land w/o decreasing....NO BIG SUPRISE :eek:

No pressure because they don't want to drop a dropsonde over somebody's head...

wayoutfront...if your talking about hurricane hunters not flying in cuban airspace I already brought this up earlier USAF wx planes got a rare agreement to fly this storm...if your talking right over land then previous post while answer that .... I believe each drop tube is about 16 lbs.

G. Shows that those 85kt winds in F were found 10nm at a bearing of 290deg from the center, in the NW quad.

I heard that...I could see it now hurricane X had 1 death due to weather instrument slamming into John does living room!

That would really be the pits, have a near death experience in the storm, and just as you think you will make it, get taken out by a drop tube!
