The National Hurricane Centre has just declared Isabel the 1st Category 6 hurricane since Mitch of 1998 I remember Mitch well, I have a beautiful framed high resolution photo on my wall of Mitch at its peak (sustained winds 195 mph... the perfect hurricane photo. Unfortunately, it went on to become the third deadliest in Atlantic basin history with nearly 10,000 deaths  Winds now at 160mph the 1st Recon mission is due at 18Z tomorrow. Just how strong will they find Isabel I seem to have added a category 6 to the Scale It should read 5 !!!! Just as well... it's currently sat precisely on the track taken by an un-named lesser hurricane of Aug-Sep 1893 (max sustained winds 120 mph) that paralleled the Florida East Coast and went ashore in Georgia, causing 2,000 deaths. If it doesn't curve Northwards (5 day forecast is a straight line) it will hit... Georgia. -- Dave |
