Re: clear CDO there... shows well on NRL site close up
Thu May 29 2008 04:11 PM

This is a very impressive tropical cyclone. Most impressive that it has been able to improve so dramatically while also so close to the coast. I keep thinking of Humberto (ATL 2007).. while reportedly no storm before or since has intensified more rapidly while so close to land, comparisons can be loosely made, given 01E.'s dynamite appearance and rapid strengthening.

Hurricane Warnings are now up along the coast!
