Hurricane OPAL (27
SEP-05 OCT) Storm Max - Max Winds: 130 Min Pres: 916 Category: 4 Opal formed as a tropical depression over the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Initially forecasted to move due north and not intensify, it decided to move west into the open gulf waters which allowed it to organize before its turn to the north. Moving over very warm central gulf waters, it rapidly intensified from a minimal category 1 to a strong category 4 in 12 hours. This was aided by strong thunderstorm activity near the center of the system. Opal never formed a clear cut eye which denotes most strong hurricanes. Moving over cooler waters as it neared the coast of Florida it quickly weakened to a category 3 before hitting land just southeast of Pensacola FL. This was the second hurricane to hit Pensacola this season (Erin being the other). This storm produced heavy flooding rains over Mexico and over the southeastern US.
