Re: Hurricane Irene Landfalls at Cape Lookout, NC

At landfall, there was no eyewall nor eye. The entire core was disrupted.

Look at this radar image from 10 minutes ago. Eyewall well established. Rain free eye.

This all happened after landfall! Wow.



Note: I turned off county borders. If you look at actual land locations, the eye is actually over an inlet, centered on this map just east of between Lowland in the south and Germantown in the north. Both the north and south eyewall are over land. The storm just exited from being overland on the Lowland side and is heading toward Lake Mattamuskeet.
