Major Hurricane Erick Explodes Close In...HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT REPORTS ERICK IS A MAJOR HURRICANE. Atlantic Still Quiet........So Quiet!

 

That's an impressive, wild loop.

The Rapid Intensification has played out.

NHC always opens low... 

...they said they were on conservative side.

Many said Erick would be like Otis.

And..........indeed.

This is close in Rapid Intensification.

Good post showing the bones of Erick.

I took the day off today from endless news messages on WhatsApp and chores in the house and blogging. I was pretty sure Erick would indeed explode, but how fast and to what intensity and how fast could it do it before landfall. Much like Otis last year in ways. Much like Beryl early in the season in the Atlantic last year. But it's 2025 and this is this year.

Note how close it is to landfall but looking at the last discussion from earlier today. I'll say we may see some wobbles and anyone chasing it will have to react fast and pivot if they can in order to get in the eye. Intensifying Major Hurricanes on landfall have eye wall replacement cycles, explosions of energy and they tend to wobble in the short term tho in the long term they take aim on their target. 

The hot pinks...fuchsia pinks....

are intense moisture.

It's got a pipe line going...

...sucking in the moisture, the fuel.

That moisture will slam Mexico...

..and get into BOC.

Close up....

The intensity of the storm is lashing the coast now.

The pink dot to the WNW is more rapid intensification.

Less than 24 hours to landfall...

....where does the rain go.

As for the Atlantic.

Not much going on.

NHC says nothing.

Even this site below says nothing.

BOC lost the candy stripe red.

So clean up your yards.... 

...trim those trees against the house.

Get a Hurricane Plan.
