re: Harvey ***Catastrophic Flooding Event***

Big blowup around the center but it's not connected all around yet. Still organizing there, but that's about the deepest convective punch I've seen all day.

you're not overreacting, try going multiple days without AC in houston's humid weather, its awful. Then try to do it with nothing to do all day long: no tv,no internet, no nothing. It's just a very tedious thing to go through, done it twice, and I've decided im a princess and i need my electricity.

It depends on how old you are.

I was in my 20s and lived in Houston during Ike and I had the time of my life. With no electricity there's nothing else to do but party and have sex.

I'm married with a little kid now, so it would absolutely suck if it happened to me today.

Those are the best damn flavor.

Eyewall replacement?

got rooms at the Westin for hte game through priceline at absurd price, but they can't be cancelled. ill be so pissed off if i have to eat the full cost

surely theyd allow a cancellation given the situation??

You could Maybe sell the reservation to evacuees. Or maybe the hotel could sell the room to someone else at a lot higher rate.

Seems a little early and a little weak for that. My guess is he hit that Eddy and popped convection off. It'll eventually wrap around and I suspect start another strengthening cycle.

Pressure looks like it might be way down on this recon pass. 972 on the most recent dropsonde.

what's that? a 4 mb drop since the end of the last flight?

new update comes in at any moment... what's everyone's guess for updated wind speed?

definitely cat 2... perhaps even low cat 3?
