Last night's recon abort

I found it interesting to find out that the recon plane that had to abort the mission last night due to extreme turbulence was the same plane that was severely damaged in 1989 (Hugo)-5.6 G's to the aircraft.. in Felix's case, it was about 4 G's.

As for Felix, the storm looks elongated from top to bottom-but I think we'll have a mid Cat 4 @ landfall... still very powerful and dangerous.

98L seems close to dissipation-very little convection and the circulation is not very-discernible.

99L is more promising to develop at the moment, looks to me (not very experienced weather person though ) that it's trying to get going into a depression, although depression status (if it reaches that) is a couple days off.
