DATA FROM THE AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING HURRICANE DEAN INDICATE THAT MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO 160 MPH...MAKING DEAN A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC CATEGORY FIVE HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE.
Unbelievable. And he's intensifiying. Makes you wonder what he would have topped out at if the Yukitan Penninsula wasn't in the way. :/ It's not surprising...talk about perfect conditions for a perfect storm.
Cat3 back over water intensifying to a strong Cat4 before landfall?
-------------------- The safest way to deal with a potential Hurricane hitting you...is to leave and just not be there at all.
