Interesting if the pressure drop continued, or remained relativity steady. If that remains the case, we should see an explosive growth in wind when the ERC is complete.

Gustav had a pressure of 941 MB and winds of 150 MPH at the surface, so if the pressure remains steady, we should see a rapid upward trend in wind later on.

The pressure-wind relationship tends to be different in every storm. Meaning you can't necessarily relate Gustav at 941/150 to Ike.

Remember, the VDM's will be a blend of actual motion. VDM fixes are never the direct center of circulation.

Untrue, it is the direct center

200900 2102N 07425W 6959 02671 9438 +160 +050 099005 008 019 003 00

Recon location of windshift from 99 to 296 degrees, the same location given by the VDM

The wind center, not the actual center of the storm, however weird that sounds.
