9/22/02... 5PM... MERIDA OBS SHOW GUST OF 44 KNOTS... SHIPS BEHIND THE
STORM REPORTING 7 FOOT WAVES, 25-30 KNOT WINDS... REUTERS REPORTS 70,000
EVACUATED... AP Photo Slide Show... FROM THE NHC: "...EYEWALL OF POWERFUL
HURRICANE ISIDORE BATTERING THE YUCATAN COAST... MOVING TOWARD PROGRESO
MEXICO... COASTAL STORM SURGE FLOODING ALONG THE NORTH COAST OF THE YUCATAN
PENINSULA IS EXPECTED TO REACH 8 TO 12 FEET ABOVE NORMAL TIDE LEVELS ALONG
WITH BATTERING WAVES... HAM RADIO REPORTS INDICATE SOME COASTAL FLOODING
AND DAMAGE TO HOMES HAVE OCCURRED NEAR MERIDA AND CHELEM ON THE NORTHWEST
YUCATAN COAST..." | LINKS: MEXICAN RADAR... ADDITIONAL REPORTS FROM
WEATHERMATRIX MEMBERS AND THE MEDIA... REPORTS FROM MEXICO... SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS...

NHC also said in their discussion "A DROPSONDE IN THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT
JUST NORTH OF THE YUCATAN COAST CAME IN WITH 108 KT. ONE COULD ARGUE THAT
SINCE THIS WAS AN OFFSHORE WIND THAT STRONGER WINDS TO CATEGORY 4 STRENGTH
COULD EXIST TO THE NORTH OF THE CENTER OVER THE WATER. HOWEVER...THE
BACKGROUND PRESSURE IS UNUSALLY LOWER THAN NORMAL...SO THE TYPICAL
PRESSURE-WIND RELATIONSHIP MAY NOT APPLY TO ISIDORE THE SAME WAY IT DID NOT
APPLY TO HURRICANE FLOYD IN 1999. RECON IS STILL INVESTIGATING ISIDORE AND
THEY ARE SCHEDULED TO PUNCH THROUGH THE NORTHERN EYEWALL DURING THE HOUR TO
SEE IF STRONGER WINDS EXIST."
