Re: Is Mala A Cyclone...or What

well, if there is good news, the storm didn't have a chance to really get its legs underneath it like it could have. It's still going to hit hard though, and in fact appears to be making landfall even as I type this. So it's hitting with estimated 115Kt winds and pressure at 927mb according to the NRL estimates. U Wisc had about 117Kt winds and T numbers at 6.1 at landfall. though it was weakening for the 8 hours before landfall, so I suspect the winds were lower.
