Re: Watching Hurricane Felix and Area off Georgia

I thought this was interesting in the 5pm NHC disccusion.


"THIS CORRESPONDS TO A FALL IN CENTRAL PRESSURE AT
A RATE OF 3.4 MB PER HOUR OVER THE PAST 7 HOURS OR SO...WHICH IS
ONE OF THE MORE RAPID DEEPENING RATES WE HAVE OBSERVED. "

Can someone remember a recent hurricane strengthening as quickly or with a similar rate of pressure drop?

**I think rapid deepening would be better terminology. Sorry about the wordiness of my original post.
