Re: Emily to Landfall Near Cozumel

Yes and on the 04:45 UTC for both water vapor and IR you can not only still see the general area of the eye, just inland, but just how symmetrical and strong the core winds remained for this hurricane, in the perfectly circular shape that the winds have pushed inland. I think even though the eye was not in tip-top shape, and the round core was not always visible, most of the day today, all the same the structure of the storm remained pretty solid.

So...it looks like Cozumel, but more especially the south part, did get the strong Cat 4 winds of the NE quad full force, and possibly the coast behind it as well.

EDIT - Yes well apparently I was wrong wrong wrong. Can't read sat images that well. Emily just going ashore now (about 1pm CDT).
