Just a few excerpts and comments on the last page of Alex. Due to work scheduling I wasn't present for the last few hours up to landfall. "Is it just me or did the center slow or stop in the last 2-3 frames?" Texas Two Step "Likely last recon run for Alex before landfall found 948mb, second lowest to only to Audrey for June hurricanes." Everything is bigger in Texas
Just a we bit of humor to relax the atmosphere. No Pun intended.
Alex minimum central pressure of 947 mb could have supported a maximum wind speed of 128 mph. So all things considered we seemed to have lucked out.
edit:The Weather Channel is reporting that Hurricane Alex is the strongest June Hurricane on record since Hurricane Audrey in 1947.
