Artifact of the super tall convection casting shadows. No signs of a EWRC currently.

My God that is beautiful.

Yeah they throw that shite online for the public with no regard for how much data it takes.
It's awesome.

932mb pressure with 27kt winds still. Pressure is probably 930mb.

That's phenomenal.

Photos of Dominica from this morning. The photo of the airport is the worst because it will take days for them to land relief planes on the island
Martinique flash flooding yesterday

Geeez these people are legit on their own right now...

Helicopters should be able to drop supplies in... hopefully their docks are in good enough shape to bring in supply ships.
What a disaster though.

I've lurked on all of the Hurricane threads for a while because hurricanes are so damn interesting, but I've never understood the pressure thing relative to the strength. Can someone explain it for me? Dumb it down?
My educated guess is that the lower the pressure, the higher the storm surge is because the atmospheric pressure isn't pushing the water down? Yea don't make fun of me on that one if that sounds idiotic haha.

Holy hell!
I hope someone can at least fly choppers in their to drop water and basic food for them

The infrastructure is damn near all gone. If you cant cross rivers, how in the hell can you even begin to expedite anything?

Helicopters sounds like a great idea but this is an independent nation with no foreign government oversight (Dutch, French, British, US, etc) so there won't be a military ship to help these folks out like the other ravaged islands. On top of that the roads and highways have been washed out or land slides have taken them out across the entire island so logistically it will be damn near impossible for get this place into order anytime soon.
This island could very well become the next Barbuda when its all said and done with given the magnitude of the damage and the fact that all necessary government building support (hospitals, police, fire, gov't offices, courthouses, etc.) have been destroyed.
Guadeloupe is 60 miles to Dominica by air and there is a ferry but there is no word yet if the Ferry made it out of the Hurricane unscathed.

The two main meteorological factors contributing to a storm surge are a long fetch of winds spiraling inward toward the storm, and a low-pressure-induced dome of water drawn up under and trailing the storm's center.
The pressure effects of a tropical cyclone will cause the water level in the open ocean to rise in regions of low atmospheric pressure and fall in regions of high atmospheric pressure.
The rising water level will counteract the low atmospheric pressure such that the total pressure at some plane beneath the water surface remains constant.
This effect is estimated at a 10 mm (0.39 in) increase in sea level for every millibar (hPa) drop in atmospheric pressure.
All the above sourced from wiki.

Horrible damage.
I am surprised that much foliage survived. Possibly because the storm didn't sit on the island as long as Irma?

Small catastrophic wind field.
Were talking miles meaning A LOT with this storm.
Edit: Plane just passed again, two 927mb readings.
