Looks like they flew a circle in the eye. Wow at the extrap surface pressure. That can't be right.
Did not have a suspect data flag though.

Agree. The “unsurvivable” (sp?) warning comes to mind about now for those who stayed in Cameron & other like places.

 

[Jetstream]

Approx 8 miles and Cameron will be in the eye.

 

[Casie]

What is Brett and the guys doing just sitting there in the middle of the street?

 

[gangstonc]

Radar showing winds of 175 mph 3000’ up.

 

[Blountwolf]

Somebody tell Brett that Blountwolf says it's time to go.

And to watch for water coming from the east.

 

[Casie]

Somebody tell Brett that Blountwolf says it's time to go.

AND CASIE!!!!

 

[Blountwolf]

LCH Radar not responding.

 

[bwalk]

I'm afraid the town of Creole took a greater hit than Cameron. Creole is east of Cameron and in the NE quadrant of the wind field.
