| | 4. jasoniscoolman2010xo 2:06 PM GMT on November 05, 2010 | | | Once Tomas pushes north of the islands on Sunday, the storm should weaken quickly, as wind shear is expected to rise to a very high 50 knots. wow!!!!maybe wind shear up to 70 knots after 92 hours from now..

NOAA still has to get advanced permission from the Cuban government to fly over the island. What I meant was they just can't freely go wherever they want and whenever they want. That is exactly correct....as i just stated also .....advanced request must be given in advance to get permission.. Orca is wrong that can't just fly in there as they please.

No foreign aircraft can overfly another sovereign nations airspace without permission. That includes civilian and military aircraft. True, but the NOAA was granted special exception to the rule by Cuba because it's in that nation's best interest to allow HH recon; they allow the overflights, and in return their mets receive nearly complete access to HH data, which they use for their own needs. Seems like a fair deal, if you ask me... Member Since: November 8, 2009 Posts: 3 Comments: 1931 | |

| | 10. unruly 2:09 PM GMT on November 05, 2010 | | | after careful consideration, Tomas will bring alot of rain to Haiti. He will then move out to the atlantic and regain strength. Tomas will land in the Bahamas as a cat3, and may turn left and hit Hampton Beach, NH as a cat 5, causing billions in damage and millions in lives lost...this is all brought to you by the JJHPM.....

| | 24. reedzone 2:22 PM GMT on November 05, 2010 | | | I was finally right on with the intensity scheme last night and I think it could clinch category 2 force winds before weakening. There is a very slim chance it rapidly intensifies to a major Hurricane, but the possibility is there. A strengthening Hurricane is not good for Haiti, but it could have been worse. Thank God these prayers were answered in some way. Member Since: July 1, 2008 Posts: 13 Comments: 5238 | |

I was reading some other pages..and I can't find it again... their biggest concern with flying over land during a hurricane is tornadoes, and I would assume (although I did not see it posted) rock filled clouds.

Someone posted the HH flew around Cuba. The next person said they could not because of Cuba. Then Orca said this, BS, they overfly Cuba all the time doing active Hurricanes, in the area Which suggest they can fly in anytime they want. Then some of said they can only fly over Cuba once a request is asked and permission is given.

Ah -- that's fair enough -- it just sounded scary that weather info could be withheld even though they granted airspace.

Hi Everyone: I have been to Haiti 13 times with these people and used to run the office, and I KNOW almiost EVERY dollar goes to the people. This couple are the hardest working and most dedicated people I have ever met. They have schools in l"artibonite where the cholera outbreak started and schools in the southern mountains that will be severely threatened by Tomas.
Please help and thank you Link
