Now that #HurricaneOscar is no threat to Florida, we unboarded the house yesterday. Between #Helene and #Milton, we definitely earned our Florida badges.
Eastern Cuba is getting smacked by #HurricaneOscar. Current sustained wind speeds are 80 mph. Praying for #Cuba 🙏
Hurricane Oscar’s intensification has leveled off overnight and into this morning mostly, with winds hovering around 70kt/80mph. #Oscar should make landfall in Cuba soon, and unravel shortly after. Dangerous flooding and wind damage is possible from #HurricaneOscar in Cuba.
We have a category 1 #HurricaneOscar hitting the Turks & Caicos Islands as well as the Inagua Islands in the West Indies currently just north of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Hurricane Oscar currently has sustained wind speeds of 85 mph and gusts up to 105 mph.

1:30a: ok, 30%
8a: 60%?
9:15a: Actually 90%..
11a: OK, it’s TS Oscar now
2p: We flew into it, actually a Smol Hurricane
5p: “It is fair to say its been an unexpected day with regards to Oscar.”
#HurricaneOscar up to 85mph and 987 mb. 5pm forecast has it increasing to 90mph. Discussion notes that the lower 150 meters average wind in the column from a late dropsonde was 85kts.
I don't see any recon heading out soon unfortunately. ADT struggling with this one.
#HurricaneOscar seems to have leveled off with pressure and flight level winds. But this latest dropsonde is pretty intense given where we were 6 hours ago with this one.
