Satellite presentations rarely get more extreme than this. The torrid, pinhole eye of Category 5 Hurricane Erin is a crystal clear window to the ocean’s seething surface. She is one of the strongest Hurricanes to ever prowl this region of the Atlantic Basin.

Hurricane Erin has been driven into a ferocious feeding frenzy by the heat energy of the SW Atlantic. Rarely do you see a storm outside of the West Pacific undergo such extreme RI as this. In 24 hours, her winds have more than DOUBLED, from 70 mph to 145 MPH, and her core pressure has plunged from 998 mbar to 935 MBAR. This is an exceptionally rapid rate of deepening for an open Atlantic Hurricane. Erin’s pressure continues to plummet by 6-8 mbar per hour based on Hurricane Hunter recon data, and she is now knocking on the door of Category 5 status.

Complete satellite loop of the closest Fujiwhara Effect between two Atlantic Hurricanes ever recorded in the satellite era. The only other known Hurricane couple that was closer than Humberto and Imelda this year was a pair of storms in 1853.

A bridge in the parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica was swallowed by a swollen river on Tuesday as the eye of Hurricane Melissa closed in on the western coast of the country. According to See Jamaica, the channel that live streamed this footage, the bridge is a "vital link between Spanish Town and Linstead." Hurricane Melissa has since made landfall in Jamaica as a Category 5 storm. It is the most powerful hurricane to lash the island since record-keeping began 174 years ago and one of the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded.

BREAKING: Milton is a Category 5 hurricane with winds up to 160 mph. That is a 70 mph uptick in barely 13 hours – nearly quadrupling the rate of strengthening needed for "rapid intensification." The storm is just offshore of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Wilma-like pinhole eye.

Hurricane Melissa, at the moment that she possibly became the strongest Atlantic Hurricane in recorded history, may have had the most extreme detonation of lightning activity ever observed in a storm in this part of the world. Nearly 700 flashes every 60 seconds. What on Earth.

Almost all Major Hurricanes undergo an eyewall replacement cycle. Melissa never did. She sustained CATEGORY 5 status for 35 consecutive hours, the 8TH longest total duration of Cat 5 winds ever documented in an Atlantic Hurricane, and the longest since Hurricane Irma in 2017. Instead of initiating replacement cycles, Melissa underwent eyewall mergers, which caused only short-lived pauses in her intensification and allowed her to incrementally climb to an extreme strength as she slowly writhed towards Jamaica. It is exceptionally rare to see a high-level Hurricane eye remain so perfectly circular and clear for so many days on end.

Hurricane Melissa spent over three days as a major hurricane, becoming one of the strongest Atlantic storms on record. This loop from Saturday night to Wednesday morning follows Hurricane Melissa during its time as at least a Category 3 storm.

What we’re seeing right now could be historic. If Hurricane Humberto is upgraded to a CATEGORY 5, it would mark two consecutive years with multiple Cat 5s in the Atlantic. That hasn’t happened since the Great Depression. Every satellite frame is more intense than the last. The 145 MPH eyewall is only getting more deeply submerged in a whirling ice bath of convection.

1 year ago today, Hurricane Beryl clinched her title as the earliest forming Category 5 Atlantic Hurricane in recorded history, surpassing Hurricane Emily (2005) by more than two weeks. Never before, as far back as reliable meteorological records go, had we documented a storm of her strength so early in the year. With winds of 165 MPH and a pressure of 932 mbar, she was the most furious July Tempest we have ever witnessed in the Atlantic Basin. (Sat-image credit: CIMSS)

Check out CATEGORY 4 Hurricane #Erin with a pin hole eye and stout donut eye wall visible on Puerto Rico radar. The stronger Hurricane continues to push west with the help of beta drift. A northward shift just prior to the USA is still expected, but we need to watch this like a hawk in NC OBX.
