the cell but if you re in cirrus clouds that mask the thunderstorms visually, you re limited by the weather radar and it s harder and you can have a thunderstorm hide another one behind it. michael? i want to add here, let s rewind a little bit on the conversation. all of the pilots will look at the forecast well before they climb. they look at the forecast and the weather on route and will know from chatting to the weather forecasters what the weather conditions are likely to be on route. we ll have a good idea if they are a storm pattern and what route they are going to take what diversion they might need to take because they need to look at all of this when they are calculating the fuels and endurance in case they get to singapore and have to go into a hold because of inclement
winds at 45 to 50 miles per hour. they re legs are getting sandblasted, i guarantee you, at that kind of wind speed. but just down the beach, a little bit closer to the eye, this is what our surfchecks.com camera looks like. just shaking winds, 65 or 70 miles per hour, literally why conditions at time. this is the beach right there. hard to distinguish the water from the sand. someone trying to get out of the way of that wind right there, the waves just absolute foam. and all we re talking about is ten miles. the the difference between that point there and that point there on our map. here is the story with the hurricane right now. a visible eye. the best eye we ve seen all day, meteorologically, the worst eye for the people that live there or that are vacationing there. because that means the storm is still getting stronger. still breathing, still bringing in air at the surface, releasing it up through the eye wall and blowing it out as cirrus clouds across the storm itself.
it did not make the right turn like most storms do here. it is still driving due north right toward wilmington and it s also getting stronger. forecasts from the hurricane center to 105 miles per hour and that is going to skirt those winds will skirt right along that shoreline and devour the shore and scour the shoreline from surf city to moor head city and into cape hatteras, this entire area. i m a little bit surprised now that the areas here southeast of surf city don t hurricane warnings on them just yet because this storm now is really gaining strength. it s breathing by itself. it s sucking air in at the surface and blowing it out at the top. those are the cirrus clouds at the top. that s a hurricane breathing and getting stronger. there s the eye of the storm right now moving just to the north of north myrtle beach, i believe, and making the swing up toward wilmington. we have to understand that these waves are going to be coming in for hours and hours and if the eye wall does
right there of the storm and it s had an eye for quite some time today, but now that eye is what we call breathing. literally it s suck air down at the surface and rising it up through the eye wall and expanding or expelling that air at the higher elevations and making those cirrus clouds blow off of the now increasing in strength hurricane, soon to be hurricane, the hurricane center saying within 12 hours this will be a category 1 hurricane. the danger is for north carolina, parts of south carolina as well. there will pounding surf and there will be waves 6 to 12 feet tall and eroding the beach itself and it may be completely gone in some areas and also the rip currents that we ve told people over and over and over today to please stay out of the water and yet, i can look right here and i can look at a picture, here it is this is jacksonville beach and waves 6 to 10 feet, where are the people? right there along the shore playing in the water.
800. what do i stand for, 800. that 30-year-old was back on the show last night winning $20,000. owe used the controversial method choosing high amounts first hoping to find the daily double. some say that strategy is unfair. he pointed out he s not breaking the rules and says he is not the first contestant to use that method. fans of the show say the beauty of the show is it is so unpredictable. so far he s made $100,000. good for him. she did the fast thumb on her weather predictor. look how fast maria molina can go from nimbus to cirrus clouds. if you leave in the eastern two-thirds of the country you re going to notice temperatures plummeting. today cold across parts of the midwest and the great
