#HurricaneLaura has made landfall near Cameron, LA with max winds of 150 mph – the strongest #hurricane to make landfall in Louisiana since the Last Island Hurricane of 1856 (also 150 mph max winds). pic.twitter.com/QeiHwigs74

Earth Nullschool 2020-08-27 13:00 est that cyclone over land is variously pulling in surface air & surface air being driven to it at 27.2 to 30.9 C (with warmer generally closer until the Gulf shore region of course, cooler towards Africa) in a very coherent swath some ~2,000 km wide (rough instant guess) all the way from Africa (northern Trade Wind, Coriolis). I haven’t been doing this checking over the years. Has somebody noted over time that this coherence of the surface air supply is the typical or frequent arrangement ? Still, I suppose it’s only the air within a few hundred kms that’s relevant to its energy.
