Re: Gustav a Major Hurricane, Hanna Moving West
|
Recon looks to be about to send out a new Vort with pressure down to around 944mb with flight level winds at 138 knots.
Gustav is likely now a very dangerous and still-intensifying Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Scale. Hurricane force winds extend well-away from the eye. Western Cuba will take a bite out of the cyclone, but given its forward rate of speed and the relative flatness of the western half of Cuba, it won't be much of a bite.
