Re: Irene

There is NO comparison, really...Andrew did get to a point where is had a very high cp (1015 mb), BUT was able to maintain 45 mph winds due to the high surrounding pressures.
My comment about Andrew was just a nod to the idea that just because a storm is in an unfavorable environment, doesn't mean with time and distance it CAN'T overcome that.
With Irene---it's a real outside chance it'll even survive....there is NO Andrew potential seen here...the atmospheric conditions are way different.
