In the view of eastern seaboard of North America this is an interesting contrast of images.
It takes a great deal of water vapor to support any major storm. The way Fay has obtained water vapor is from having a large periphery to its' dynamics as it moved 'near' and 'over' land masses. (continued below)

UNISYS Water Vapor GOES East Satellite.
The media of the USA has been 'absorbed' with narcisstic concerns regarding a storm that is huge in diameter.
This is a view of "Fay" from 12 hours ago. It has been interesting, to say the least, watching this develop.
Fay has caused deaths.

Tropical Storm Fay forms over Dominican Republic (click here)
MIAMI -- Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center say Tropical Storm Fay has formed over the Dominican Republic.The center of the storm is located about 35 miles east of Santo Domingo, and has maximum sustained winds of about 40 mph with higher gusts and is moving west at about 14 mph.The Dominican government has issued a tropical storm warning for the country's north coast and parts of the south coast.
HAITI AGAIN !
Deaths in Haiti again due to tropical storms? When will the USA be a better neighbor and actually protect these island nations?

" PORT-AU-PRINCE, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Around 50 people died in Haiti on Sunday when a bus tried to cross a river swollen with rain from Tropical Storm Fay and was swept away, witnesses said. Two dozen survivors were pulled alive out of the...";
...Fay has left a trail of destruction across the Caribbean (click here), claiming at least 11 lives in the Dominican Republic and Haiti and pummelling Cuba. While it has been moving at a relatively slow 50mph, it is forecast to intensify to hurricane force by the time it arrives in the Florida Keys, 90 miles north of Cuba....
In the 2330z view of Fay the 'borders' to the storm extend from Calove'bora, Panama to east of Florida at approximately 27 north latitude & 75 west longitude in the Atlantic Ocean. That provided necessary water vapor and the heat was provided by the land masses. The extent the water vapor accumulated to support this storm, it accelerated, while at the same time being diminished by the interference with land, but, it was a mutualism that would allow a degree of cooling to a water starved, yet hot Earth troposphere.
The 'mutualism' got more than interesting as the central pressure fell to 1003 and sustained only to rise to 1006 (click here) as the water vapor to the northern periphery supplied enough energy for the storm to literally 'skip' over Cuba, its biggest land mass jump of its existance.
As the storm moved north, with less land interference, it consolidated its periphery and strengthened while moving from a central pressure of 1006 to 1001 within an hour.
As this storm moved north it became 'water starved' and diminished in strength, but, not in voracity.
These storms actually do more damage than traditional storms of their nature and before the dynamics of 'water starvation' occurred. They have higher and chronic 'energy/heat' levels that are ALWAYS seeking more water vapor than storms of the past.
In the past, with an abundance of water vapor, a Cat 1 was at its maximal potential. That is not occurring with these storms. Many of these storms are not reaching their potential do to the lack of 'available' water vapor at the surface of Earth where they occur.
This may very well be 'an Atlantic' phenomena where the CO2 is far higher in density than anywhere else on the planet and the heat levels are continuing to increase because of the USA carbon dioxide pollution. When examining the Pacific storms they are still reaching high levels of Cat 4 this year. So much for China and India being culprits in this madness.
Traditional 'expectations' of storms in 'Cat 1 thru 5' accumulated their potential, sometimes to a maximum allowed by Earth dynamics at a Cat 5, and simply ran their course. That is NOT the case in Earth dynamics as it exists today. These storms always have more 'potential than kinetic' energy and why they do more damage than ever expected.
In other words, Katrina was a Cat 3 at landfall, but, did damage far greater than normally obtained by any Cat 3 in history. There are reasons for that.
These storms, although revealing a central pressure and wind velocity that place them in TS status or Cat 1 ranking, have 'intense' dynamics that expand their periphery to 'chronically' bring higher vorticity to their central pressures.
Let's face it, with a heating troposphere the predictions were that we would be seeing Cat 6 storms. That hasn't happened and won't happen simply because the water vapor to support those dynamics DOESN'T EXIST at Earth's surface.
The prediction of higher and more dangerous storms will NEVER occur on Earth because as the surface heats the water vapor moves up in altitude, therefore, depriving Earth's surface from the necessary 'water vapor/heat content' of its troposphere to sustain such increasing dynamics to hurricanes.
INSTEAD, the troposphere is manifesting 'tornadoes' in higher number and in far more unlikely places than ever anticipated.
BOY, did they have it "W"rong. Good thing I was here, huh?
These storms are far more 'Democratic' in nature than anyone would attribute them to be.
Democratic you say?
How so?
They have far more 'Potential' than ever allowed to have credit for !!!
A sense of humor is always necessary when dealing with morons. You would think that people capable of landing humans on the moon could get Earth's physics right, won't you? Figuring 'trajectory' don't come close to 'contexting' Earth's troposphere. I guess it 'takes a woman.'
I ever tell you the story about the time when...??????
