Yep, in many ways it's actually better if it moves fast with more ferocity than slow and steady, dumping buckets of rain.

As of 12:30 the seas don’t look too bad.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

BTW, looking at the shape of that platform, I bet it would be gone if it was still a CAT IV hurricane.
Legs look bad, but the structure is nice and high.

This is why I do not live anywhere near the ocean. It is large, volatile, and exists only to seek ways to destroy man.

Wanna start a pool on how long that cam lasts?
I say 1800 Eastern.
Storm has slowed to 5mph. I'll say 1900EST, but I'm guessing Nixer wins. Old Glory is taking a beating. BTW, Frying Pan is a de-commissioned Coast Guard platform.

Thankfully it it losing some of its wind velocity and the eye no longer has that wall of death configuration.

Notice how the wind swell has almost done a 180 deg direction change in less than 6 hours on the video. Still broadcasting at 18:12 Eastern edit: more like 90 degrees change. Pretty shallow around that shoal, That platform must be sitting away from it or there would be breaking waves everywhere. I think I found that platform, bottom right of this chart in around 50ft of water. http://www.charts.noaa.gov/OnLineViewer/11536.shtml

Another neat online weather tracking page. Tick on left menu, hit play, swing the globe, zoom in zoom out. Weather TrackingQuite a few typhoons and hurricanes in the Atlantic and Pacific right now. Cheers, Slug
