HURRICANE KARL IS CENTERED NEAR 19.6N 95.6W AT 17/1200 UTC OR ABOUT 50 NM NE OF VERACRUZ MEXICO AND ABOUT 150 NM SE OF TUXPAN MEXICO MOVING W AT 8 KT. ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 956 MB. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WIND SPEED IS 105 KT WITH GUSTS TO 130 KT.
Karl's hurricane wind wing span is 25 miles, so maybe Veracruz will be spared the worst. But just north of Veracruz is gonna get slammed.
HURRICANE FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 25 MILES...35 KM...FROM THE CENTER...AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 105 MILES...165 KM.
Storm Surge will be 10-15 feet.
Heavy rains up to 15 inches in mountainous areas.
The plant is 10miles North of where it's supposed to hit. |
