That's a very high quality, detailed image. Look at the higher elevated clouds, towering. Where did you get this at?

 

[Mikey Gribble]

Could you post a link for that? I have been watching this one, but Rita is about to move out of view on it.

WOW!!
Incredible view of the storms imbedded in the CDO. She has some of the best structure I've seen in a while. I just saved a 8km shot of her, but it's nowhere that sweet! Thanks, Beau!!

Visible satellite images taken around sunset and sunrise tend to be very impressive. You can really pick out the subtle details in the hurricane do to the long shadows.

Are those gravity waves along the eastern side of the CDO?

Nick, is that a Gempak generated graphic? Beau, where did you find pictures of the Bahama's, on your other forum site, you just posted. Does anyone know where I can find cloud heights/tops?

I wonder how that flareup of convection/outflow is going to affect the vertical shear as the storm enters the GoM.
