during the
passage of
Dennis on the
Mobile Mesonet
after making landfall as a strong category 4 hurricanes that day. We
targeted Pensacola, FLorida area and headed for the area on friday
night. Saturday (9th) we searched the coastline for bunker location to
ride Dennis out. Now Dennis returned to Category 4 status and we
decided to move off the beaches to the mainland and found a parking
garage on the east side of downtown.
This is where we encountered Dennis's north and west side of the
eyewall and and short eye passage before Dennis fell apart. Our lowest
pressure reading was 965mb and winds around 100mph with a few
higher gusts.
This is extremely rare for early July. This hurricane became very small
with a tight wind core but weakened to 115-MPH as it made landfall on
Sunday, July 10, 2005 in Pensacola, Florida. The central pressure at
time of hurricane core interception was measured at about 965 MB with
an eye so small only a wind shift was observed. The entire chase was
from July 9 through July 10, with about 1,100 total miles logged.
