Re: Dean Reaches Category 4 Strength

Yep, check out the "Recon Info" link on the left which has a "Hurricane Hunter" to English translation program there.





I've looked at that page in years past and it was Greek to me, but maybe I should give it another shot.

But like I said, I'm ready to trash it, and go with the westward trend, 15N, and that idea now.




I really do not buy the westward trend *across* the Yucatan, but I'm not ready to rule it out either, partly because the shear thought of a 190mph superstorm entering the bathwater of the eastern/central Gulf... and THEN potentially going through the Loop Current? Impossible to comprehend. So, for me, it's much easier to accept that Dean will strike the Yucatan and then go on over to Texas.
