I don't usually check/track weather during the weekend. I check/track it during the weekdays because......work lol.
Cancelled our trip to Cancun this week. Just bit the bullet instead of guessing/waiting for path changes.
Long ways out, uncertainty of direction beyond Yucatan. I'm curious to see how much it weakens by the time it hits the Yucatan. Hopefully it stays south, as much as we need the rain...just give us the outerbands of the wet side.....
........and it's a cat 5 hurricane. good lord. wouldn't surprised me if it hits cat 6 by tomorrow's evening.
Cat 6 doesn’t exist as a classification yet. It’s been proposed for anything with wind speeds over 192mph. This article says they’re have been five, with Hurricane Patricia in 2015 hitting 215(!) mph. https://www.pbsnc.org/blogs/science/do-we-need-a-category-6-for-hurricanes/
“This one goes to 11” Also, holy **** those spaghetti models are not great right now as a lifelong Houstonian. I’ll hang up and listen.
