1100 PM EDT Tue Sep 17 2019
Humberto has an impressive presentation on satellite images, with a
large 30-40 n mi diameter eye surrounded by very cold cloud tops.
An Air Force Reserve Unit Hurricane Hunter aircraft investigating
the hurricane found SFMR-observed surface winds of 98 kt and peak
700-mb flight-level winds of 111 kt. Based on these observations,
the current intensity was set at 100 kt, which made the system a
major hurricane. Some fluctuations in strength due to a potential
eyewall replacement are possible during the next 24 hours or so, but
strong southwesterly shear should result in a weakening trend to

1100 PM AST Tue Sep 17 2019
Convection associated with Tropical Depression Ten has increased
and become better organized since the last advisory, and various
subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates are now in
the 35-40 kt range. However, just-received ASCAT-C data indicates
that, despite this increase in organization, the surface winds have
not yet reached 35 kt. Based on this, the cyclone remains a 30 kt
depression for this advisory.
The initial motion is now 285/9. The cyclone is to the south of a
low- to mid-level ridge, and this feature should steer the system
generally west-northwestward with an increas...

Hurricane Dorian - Videos
The Saffir-Simpson Scale
The Saffir-Simpson Scale is the scale used to measure the intensity of hurricanes. It has 5 categories with a category 5 being the strongest and most destructive marked by sustained winds exceeding 157mph.
Category 1 - Sustained winds 74-95mph
Very dangerous winds will produce some damage: Well-constructed frame homes could have damage to roof, shingles, vinyl siding and gutters. Large branches of trees will snap and shallowly rooted trees may be toppled. Extensive damage to power lines and poles likely will result in power outages that could last a few to several days.
Category 2 - Sustained winds 96-110mph
Extremely dangerous winds will cause extensive damage: Well-constructed frame homes could sustain major roof and siding damage. Many shallowly rooted trees will be snapped or uprooted and block numerous roads. Near-total power loss is expected with outages that could last from several days to weeks.
Category 3 - Sustained winds 111-129mph
Devastating damage will occur: Well-built framed homes may incur major damage or removal of roof decking and gable ends. Many trees will be snapped or uprooted, blocking numerous roads. Electricity and water will be unavailable for several days to weeks after the storm passes.
Category 4 - Sustained winds 130-156mph
Catastrophic damage will occur: Well-built framed homes can sustain severe damage with loss of most of the roof structure and/or some exterior walls. Most trees will be snapped or uprooted and power poles downed. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.
Category 5 - Sustained winds 157mph+
Catastrophic damage will occur: A high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.
