Hurricane Sandy Strengthening Rapidly

From far away she looks so peaceful. So large.. oddly she looks like she takes up half the hemisphere, though that's just an illusion.

Inside the storm recon has reported tonight that her barometric pressure is dropping rapidly. A report of 956 which blew away the 961 that was read earlier. The 11 PM Discussion should read like a Class Weather Novel except it's real life not imagination.

Another view:

Sandy looks more like a Cat 3 than a Cat 2... or a developing Cat 3.

We should know soon...

Be back later...

The Upper Level Low to her NW is grabbing her.. 

that is what is going on... forget the front far away

She's moving fast... and that ULL is digging down and reaching under her and lifting her north an might... temporarily swerve her a bit to the left faster than expected

possibly... my thoughts...

waiting on the 11 PM

A real consolidation of a deep core within Hurricane Sandy tonight...

Be back soon...
