Moderators StretchCT Posted August 9, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted August 9, 2023 Dora down to 130mph which is still very strong for where it is and has been maintaining that for 24 hrs or so. Sadly, the high pressure that protected HI from Dora fanned the wild fires in Maui and burned Lahaina to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted August 12, 2023 Author Moderators Share Posted August 12, 2023 Crossing the 180 Keeping coverage here rather than opening in the west pacific under typhoon Dora. It is weakening now at 75kts and expected to recurve. Possibly back into the CenPac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
