gave you upvote because i know you're just going on the data you're being shown. Ventusky's data doesn't show this storm ever hitting Cat5 levels. From last night on from what I can see, it's barely a cat2.
True. You have to click on the hurricane tracker option inside Windy. Then you can see all of the numbered and named storms, and then click on them individually to see details.
Now, I am not saying that Otis is real... just that it is, indeed, on Windy.
No, actually it's not. It's just the Hurricane tracking page that shows the various storms in the waters around the world. If you click on the storm button in the left panel (using my laptop, not phone), you focus on that storm. Click on Otis and it will show the Cat # at various stages in its path. It went from a 1 to a 5 overnight (which, again, I am not claiming is true) according to their path. Not gusts. Just Cat #'s.
Yes, it is. Look at the vertical category list along the RHS and Wind Gusts is the chosen (underlined) category for the shown map. Your link text even spells it out “…Otis?gust…”
There's a lot of info on that page. If you look at the moving circle it has (had ) a number on it as a category.
That is all I am saying. Whether or not they are using high altititude wind gusts to determine the Cat #, or not, I have no clue. That site is naming the Cat of the storm on the animated dot.
Ah, I see what you’re pointing out - that little rotary blade symbol shoved between a 60mph and 70mph tracking point over a twenty-six hour period. Thanks for being tenacious and I know you’re just pointing out what the site is claiming. Apparently we’re supposed to believe that the tropical storm spun up into a cat5 and wound all the way back down - for no apparent reason (eg- super hot water temp which causes an increase in ferocity of hurricanes) whatsoever - just like magic. All the fearful “clymate change” acolytes will get a thrill from the latest fear porn.
I searched for a live cam last night. Most claiming to be Acapulco looked relatively calm with large waves. One was showing very high winds that could easily be a 2 or higher. Very odd.
I saw this story on Dailymail right when I Woke up, and went to check it out on ventusky only to find the storm was barely a Cat2. Which I thought was strange then I rolled back the time to see if it was stronger last night before it hit land and at no point was the storm ever a cat5. The wind speed from ventusky from 5pm yesterday were barely hitting 40 mph
I've checked wind speeds like this for previous hurricanes, since 2020. I may have missed a couple storms, but I noted several times that the wind speeds or category that MSM claimed didn't match the wind speeds on the charts.
Hurricane Otis is on Windy. It hit Acapulco as a 5 and is now a 2 inland.
Edit: according to Windy.com
Edit 2: I don't get it... why the downvote with no explanation? Do you know where Acapulco is? Look at Otis and zoom in.

I don't think it even hit C2
Thanks. I was only pointing out that Windy.com was showing Otis. I do not claim to know the truth.
that's not what the map shows, at all..
Dude, what are you looking at? If you go to https://windy.com/-hurricane-tracker/hurricanes/Otis?gust,12.662,-100.854,5 you'll see Otis as a "2" inland of the Acapulco Bay.
It's showing now... wasn't before.
EDIT: OP's link and your link appear to be different... not sure why. Wind gusts vs average wind speed?

Your link is for gusts. The category of a hurricane is based on sustained winds, NOT wind gusts.

This Otis regrets its unable to blow today.
Some idiots just down vote everything - no rhyme or reason why. Ignore them 😊
The. Emperor. Has. No. Clothes. On.
(They’re about to be laundered, perhaps).

At midnight some winds were 55. That's it.
OHHHH BIG BAD HORRICANE

Anything to feed climate hysteria...
Very strange indeed, like there is nothing there. Not even a hint of a disturbance.
