Mark, I was wondering the same thing. This could be called a 'steady state' Hurricane.
And what happened to the ERC that was visible on satellite?
I saw two wind maximas on the Recon data. But the inner/ peak wind wasn't as high as I thought it would be.
121kts at Flight Level isn't too shabby for a storm that's been spinning wildly and wobbling for 24 hours, and on a 4 mile stem at that.
This would make her akin to a Long Track Tornado..right? Anothe steady state type cyclone.
