Thanks for digging into this, Brian! I previously only focused on the peak intensification rate but even the difference in the period from cat-1 to cat-5 is less than 3 hr. This is a surprise but great to know!

Thanks to the hard work of the UAH staff, the press release was successfully synchronized and published live.

Glad to see your TC talk again! Not sure if I see this correctly. Is the track reflection related to the transport of PV, generated by island convection, to the northern TC circulation?

Is this the one you were waiting for? Congratulations! What a holiday gift!

Thank you Professor :)
