I have a couple of issues with the stats regarding this storm, but first let me say my thoughts and Prayers go out to all affected in that part of the World.
The way I understand it, not a single airplane was flown into the storm to gather accurate stats, correct?
How many anemometers can register a "sustained" wind of 190 and where was it placed? When I say placed was it ground level, flight level, what?
What is the source for the minimum pressure reading?
Before we go off half cocked like the media already has and proclaim this "The strongest storm to even hit Earth" I think some numbers need verified.
And finally, how long until some reporter or TV Met (Like TWC) decides they want to make the news and proclaim something like "This storm was the direct result of Climate Change!! Were it not for the Earth's warming it would not have been nearly as strong!!"
Facts carry a lot more weight in my opinion that bull does.
