Hey guys, just a question from an amateur here! I was looking on weather.com's storm tracker and it appeared that Fay was upgraded to a tropical storm whilst over land in the Dominican Republic. I know it was marginal to being over sea, but it then seemed to move inland for quite some time. My confusion is because I thought any intensification would occur over the sea and the very best it could hope for would be to maintain strength over land? Is this only true for more powerful systems, or can the storm still draw strength from water beneath its outer edges, or is it something else altogether? Would be massively appreciative of any clarification you lot can provide!
Thanks,
bob.

Update From Paul S on Ian's account
We are sitting tight in Gainsville and have elected not to Chase the stupid fast moving Supercell about 60 miles North of here, our attention is drawn to a new storm that is going to track near to Sherman, we will move east on 82 and watch it come to us.

I have absolutely nothing to do this weekend except enjoy the snow- i'm in york so i think its looking good particularly friday evening and saturday? Would love to come on your chase but i have no idea where thurrock lakeside is, and i'm guessing its not near me!? I may pop out in the car for a bit of a drive if looks promising anywhere on any of the days, so if anyone in this part of the world fancies coming along, please do! If thurrock lakeside is anywhere remotely near me, please tell me lol!!

Wow... i'm watching the live stream from Channel 4 news from CBS in Miami... within the last 5 minutes their studio meteorologist has come on looking a bit bemused, saying that a hurricane hunter aircraft has just reported a pressure of 977mb, sustained flight level winds of 75kts in the northwest quadrant of the storm, and a ragged eye wall forming. So it definitely looks like this is on the way to becoming a hurricane, even if that pressure reading is inaccurate. Also, in the past hour the local doppler radar has shown a definite shift in the centre of rotation to the east, though they are saying this is probably just a temporary wobble.
