Good morning, all...yes after staying up until 3am (which could be considered 4am without the time change), I am just getting up.

Looked only at the wv loop so far, but what a horrfying situation for the small fishing villages of Nicaragua. Not surprised that the small core which was very strong and very well organized is taking some time to dissipate. To note:many did not evac from those isolated fishing villages, and with the ridge driving it SSW what remains of the core is still running down the coastline. Secondly, it appears that Honduras got quite a bit of rainfall as well...something that should have been given more emphasis in the advis since the movement had gone so far to the north, but which was dropped in the last couple advis before landfall.

Afraid NHC did not do too well with this one (nor did any of us).
