Maybe I Spoke Too Soon

I guess I'd assumed when I wrote the previous post that Ophelia had moved at least a little inland and deintensified. In fact it's still churning away off the coast, as this photo from 8:15 this morning shows. At least it's moved a little bit away from the buoy, for now.

This thing has been out there for so long that it's threatening to become a stable feature of the South Atlantic Bight, sort of like Jupiter's red spot.
