This is unbelievable. Melissa is absolutely below 900 and, pending dropsonde confirmation, might be stronger than MILTON: This is the FIRST time we’ve EVER had sub 900 storms in back to back NATL seasons.

Awaiting dropsonde confirmation, but Air Force flew around a bit in the eye and measured a pressure of 892.3 millibars. If true, that’s as strong as the LABOR DAY HURRICANE FROM 1935. A SUB 900 LANDFALL IS IMMINENT. This is EXTREMELY RARE AND WILL BE CATASTROPHIC FOR JAMAICA.

Latest dropsonde supports an 892 MILLIBAR PRESSURE. That TIES MELISSA WITH LABOR DAY as the 3RD STRONGEST ATLANTIC HURRICANE EVER. It truly doesn't get worse than this. A sub-900 landfall. I am sick to my stomach. This is the worst Atlantic hurricane I've ever tracked.

This is also the first Atlantic hurricane I've ever tracked to maintain perfect eyewall lightning like this for an extended period of time.

More screen grabs of Hurricane Melissa's incredible eye from Tropical Cowboy of Danger video. Screen grab and edit from the high-res uncropped footage he uploaded this morning. Unbelievable detail! #hurricane #hurricanemelissa

We got INSANELY LUCKY! There was a Sentinel 2 pass right over Melissa before landfall. Unbelievable luck. Most areas get covered twice a week by this satellite:

I wish there as a better way to shoot in the dark from a plane at 10,000 feet with no lightning, but alas... Yet this moment was incredible. That's Melissa's eyewall. The eye was a PERFECT circle. I've never seen anything like it. It was like being in a soup can and looking up.
