Ernesto is undergoing rapid strengthening Saturday night with explosive development of convection near its center. Filaments in the outflow presentation on the satellite images below are indicative of rapid intensification, and Ernesto will likely be upgraded to hurricane status by the next National Hurricane Center (NHC) Advisory. The forecast track remains similar to the 11 am EDT NHC advisory (see previous post), with a landfall somewhere on the central Gulf Coast late in the week.
We plan to document this entire hurricane from "ground zero", to capture video from the immediate coastline as the storm makes landfall. We will be uploading breaking news video updates throughout the trip as long as the cell phone towers are standing...so stay tuned to TornadoVideos.net for breaking news of this potentially historical event.

Hey there Reed. You guys take care wherever you are and look forward to your footage of the first hurricane of the season. Let's hope New Orleans gets a reprieve from this storm. News from Australia via CNN is that the storm is headed that way. Keep safe and I will be hoping your'e all safe. Cheers mate.
Thanks Mike!
It looks like the new forecast has Ernesto making landfall on the west coast of Florida now as a category 2. We all know what happened with Hurricane Charlie though.
Another forecast shift to the FL panhandle is possible. Ernesto is looking stupid right now.
