Re: good post :)

not sure about the NHC's opinion, but as far as I am concerned, if any part of the eye moves over land, it is a landfall, and if the western eye is over land, Alex will be going in my "landfalls" folder at the end of the year.

the definition of "direct hit" is :

coming within one Radius of Maximum Wind (RMW) to the left of the cyclone center or two RMW to the right of center

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
