Hurricane Erin

[TornadoFan]

Erin is really getting that look.

Also I was predicting a pinhole eye and it looks like that is indeed happening.

looks like you were indeed right.

 

[joshoctober16]

the blob is larger then the hurricane it self at this point.

also with the pinhole eye and the giant blob along with the future path forecast, looks like we are about to have a 150+ mph hurricane soon.



edit
if anyone wants to know what all this blob talk is about you can check out one example with hurricane Matthew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_history_of_Hurricane_Matthew#The_"blob"

Erin is possibly already at category 2 status right now.
Cat 5 maximum is definitely possible.

Erin looks best it’s ever done so far too now.
Also it’s now officially a category 2

 

[tornado examiner]

rapid does even begin to describe it. It’s almost as fast as Milton’s intensification.

I fully expect to wake up to a 120+ mph MH by 8-9 AM later this morning (it’s 12:19 am for me in East coast EST)

Center of circulation is deviated south of the forecast cone.

wow dats a pinhole, still doing fine despite the massivle blob to the sw tho looks like its not interecting with it

 

[tornado examiner]

Erin has shed the pinhole for a larger eye

 

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

holy crap its kickin like hell woow, more stuff in da eye wall

Holy excrement it's already a major hurricane. 120 MPH. Forecast peak up to 150 MPH.

For some statistics nerdery, this is the first major hurricane named with a female name on List 5 since Michelle in 2001. A 24 year gap.

Erin is now a category 4 with 130 mph winds

 

[slenker]

Less than 9 hours ago, it was just declared a category 2 hurricane. Yeah, this is intensifying at an extraordinary rate.

 

[joshoctober16]

if this keeps up its going to be a cat 5

 

[Lake Martin EF4]

Given the due westward motion...folks, are we sure this isn't gonna crash into Hispaniola?

Erin looks like it came straight out from the Pacific.

Recon confirms continued south of west motion. Euro apparently modeled this well.
