Re: Nate now a Hurricane, Moving Quickly into the Gulf

Yes we did. I-10 was a mess. Especially in Louisiana

SUMMARY OF 100 AM CDT...0600 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...23.5N 86.5W
ABOUT 150 MI...240 KM NW OF THE WESTERN TIP OF CUBA
ABOUT 420 MI...675 KM SSE OF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...80 MPH...130 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...NNW OR 340 DEGREES AT 22 MPH...35 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...987 MB...29.15 INCHES
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km)
primarily to the east of the center.


987mb is roughly equivalent to an 88 mph Hurricane. Nate is still trying to mix down the upper winds to the lower winds apparently.~danielw
