A woman who made up the fact that she's got some Indian blood flowing through her in order to qualify under affirmative action for a no-show job at Harvard.
Considered to be one of the leading lights of the Democrat Party.
Elizabeth Warren of you didn't build that fame.
You didn't make that.
We did that for you.
Hey, welcome back.
Great to have you.
Rush Limbaugh here behind the golden EIB microphone.
We are in South Florida.
We are right in the well, it's tough to say right now.
I remember when I was growing up in Missouri when there was hurricane news, and by the way, it wasn't nearly as and widely reported back then, obviously, as it is today.
I mean, we had local news and that was it.
That's the only thing you learned about a hurricane, which is what the local news and the network news went down there, and the reporters stand out there in the middle of it warning you uh what you shouldn't do.
Handed a secret note.
What is this?
Uh yeah, but this is the guy they're not going to prosecute, right?
Government contractor arrested for stealing Tom's secret data.
Oh, then I'm thinking of something else.
There's there's another case that DOJ threw out because it involves a Democrats.
Well, I'll get to this in due course.
Growing up, hurricane news was irrelevant.
Uh we lived in Missouri.
Hurricanes never got there, except uh their aftermath, which was nothing more than rainstorms.
It's not that we were unconcerned or we did, but the attitude is much different if you're not going to be affected by one.
Moving to Florida in 1997, it's stunning how rapidly my attitude about hurricanes changed.
When you have uh property right along potential paths of hurricanes, it changes your perspective on everything.
My point here is I'm gonna give it a little bit of hurricane update.
I realize many of you don't care.
You're not gonna be affected by it.
And I'm it's not that you don't care.
I mean, but it's you you can't have the personal investment in it that people in the path do.
So I'm just asking you to indulge me for a while.
This has been a serious storm from the get-go, and I have perfected being able to analyze how hurricanes are reported.
I've been I've become an expert in spotting the politics in hurricane tracking and hurricane forecasting.
And by that I mean people that work at the the National Hurricane Center is part of the National Weather Service, which is part of the Commerce Department, which is part of the Obama administration, which by definition has been tainted, just like the DOJ has.
And we know, in fact, are you there's this Obama is telling Leonard Yeah, Obama is actually telling people that global warming, that climate change is having a very profound impact in the war on Syria.
The war in Syria.
It's patently absurd, and there's now a story from the pew center for people in the press showing that a majority of Americans do not believe the consensus of scientists, predicting that there is climate change.
Well, the left doesn't like that, so they keep ramming it down our throats.
So in hurricane tracking and hurricane forecasting, I've been able to spot where I think they might be playing games because it's in the interests of the left to have destructive hurricanes, because then they can blame it on climate change, which they can desperately continue trying to selling, try to sell.
The problem for them is after Hurricane Katrina, remember Al Gore goes out there and all these people start saying this is just the beginning, and this is just a I mean, just tip of the iceberg.
We're gonna have these kind of hurricanes every year, numerous hurricanes, like and they're gonna be more destructive than Katrina, and it's all because we've got climate change.
And then what happened?
We had 11 years of no hurricanes.
11 straight years, no major hurricanes striking land in the United States, which just bores a hole right through the whole climate change argument.
So over the recent past five or six years, whenever there has been a hurricane, I think I've been able to spot when they try to make it look like it might hit a population center because they want the they want people to think this way.
Hurricane reported, ah, must be climate change.
They want that thought process.
And one of the ways you can bring that about is to try to convince people that a given hurricane that may pop up is aiming right for a major population center.
It's kind of like UFOs.
You know, UFOs never land where they're smart people.
UFOs always land in trailer parks and places.
You ever notice that?
UFOs land in swamps.
They they land out where where nobody lives.
They don't go to MIT.
They don't go to Harvard.
Well, a hurricane hitting a swamp is is worthless to the global warming crowd.
A hurricane has to hit a population center.
Well, this hurricane, there has been no politics.
This is a serious bad storm.
This is a category four.
The winds right now, by the when well, it's a category three right now, but by the time this goes through the Bahamas and tracks up the east coast of Florida, category four, which means sustained winds of 130 and gusts up to 16.
Now we've lived through category twos here, and they are devastating.
That's you lose power and you lose your phone lines, and trees are blown over, and the roads are impassable, and there's some home damage depending on the construction of the home and how old it is.
It's not pretty.
Category one even can feature some of this.
A category four, like is headed for the east coast of Florida right now, could be catastrophic if it comes ashore.
Now, here's the general rule of thumb that we veterans in South Florida and all along Hurricane Alley, we have learned that if a hurricane is not going to strike land, but if it's headed in your direction, the rule of thumb is you don't want it, the eye of the storm, which is the most intense.
You don't want it closer than 50 miles.
If it gets inside that 50 mile range, then you have your close to the hurricane force winds and the possibility of storm surge.
Storm surge thinks tsunami.
Not a tsunami, but I want you to think what you think a tsunami is.
This giant wave running at you, ready to swallow you up and drown you for life.
That's storm surge.
Storm surge can be worth 10 feet to 30 feet.
And depending on how close you are to the beach, storm surge can wipe you out.
Now, uh it's really rare for the eye of a hurricane to hit a specific spot.
Remember, Hurricane Andrew was a category five, and it devastated Homestead Florida.
But just up the road in Miami, there wasn't much damage.
If any, there were strong winds, but nothing that was devastating or even catastrophic.
The eye of the hurricane, most of that, that's what you don't want to hit you.
But if there it's all over the ocean and traveling anywhere near you, you don't want it to get any closer than 50 miles.
Right now, according to the forecast track at 11 a.m., the eye of this storm will pass 54 miles from us here.
I have what?
What about a what about a baby?
No, no.
It's gonna pass if the forecast that we don't know yet, by the way, this is just the forecast track.
The models, they run them depending on the run them every six hours at different times.
There are models that have the current hurricane coming ashore at Palm Beach.
There are models that have it coming ashore at Cape Canaveral.
The Hurricane Center has to take the consensus of the models and then Apply their own thought to it.
And for the past couple of days, they've had this hurricane roughly tracking up the Florida East Coast 50 miles offshore.
Last night at 11, they had it coming within 45 miles.
That was 1 a.m., 11 p.m.
That's a serious wake-up call.
So 5 a.m. today was the new one, and it's back to 54 miles.
But realize it's just it's it's still guesswork.
It's as it's as estimated good guesswhat as they can get.
There's so many things that govern the movement of a hurricane.
What's governing this one is a massive ridge of high pressure in the southern Atlantic that is preventing it from turning east.
And that high pressure area is said to be expanding slowly, which is what's pushing it closer to the Florida coastline.
Now, that ridge is going to be replaced by one further north.
And many of the models have this hurricane doing a 360 and coming right back at us next week from the east.
There are more models now showing this happening.
Last week it was one or two outliers.
Now five or six or more of these models are showing this thing doing a 360, you know, going up to Wilmington, North Carolina and making a turn and coming back down, and then hitting somewhere on the on the east coast of Florida, so a second, a second pass.
Nobody predicting a direct hit yet, but it's each each track, the next report will be at 5 in the afternoon.
And there'll be a model run.
There was a model run at uh there'll be one at 2 p.m.
So you take the 2 p.m. model run.
I'll be doing this during the two top of the hour break at 2 o'clock.
Take the 2 o'clock model run.
You compare it to the 8 a.m. model run and the 11 a.m. hurricane center forecast.
They try to guess what they're gonna say at 5 p.m., which is what we do.
Well, it's what I do, and then everybody asks me what's happening.
I do all the computations here.
And there hasn't been any indication that that high pressure ridge over the southern Atlantic is going to weaken.
If it would weaken, then the hurricane would turn more northeasterly sooner and not threaten uh the Florida or the southeastern U.S. coast.
This is going to go right current track so close to Nassau that I mean it may go right over the water slide at Atlantis.
The hotel out there on uh Paradise Island.
So it it's and it's a category four, and and Obama's right, he's out there warning everybody.
This is a serious, serious storm.
It really is.
And uh it hasn't, it hadn't hit its Haiti, so it's an opportunity for the Clinton Foundation once again to enrich themselves by another trip down there.
But they are otherwise occupied with the presidential campaign.
So that's why we have all kinds of contingencies set up for this program for tomorrow and Friday.
Uh the first objective is for me to be able to do the program, which requires that I decamp, that uh that I leave and go to Parts Unknown in order to be able to uh do the program.
Barring that we have guest hosts set up.
So we're undecided even now what tomorrow's gonna bring.
Uh but it looks like if things don't change, they're gonna they're gonna issue an evac order here on Palm Beach, I would think, and I would think they'd raise the bridges so that nobody can cross the bridge and get onto the island during the storm.
I haven't heard of that happening yet, so don't anybody, I'm just wild guessing on this, but they've done it for lesser storms.
Raise the drawbridges.
There are two of them primary, three actually, that uh get you onto the island here.
And they raise those, and you can't get off either if you're still here.
And you can't get on if you're not here.
And with category two, we lose phones, we lose power.
Uh this is category four.
We're okay if it stays 50 or more miles, we're not gonna be okay.
But it's not gonna be catastrophic if it stays enough offshore, or if it weakens, but there's no sign of weakening.
And it's not moving very fast, which allows it to strengthen.
So that's a sorry, but a long and circuitous description of where we are with this thing.
And I just personally I find it fascinating.
So many years ago, I couldn't have cared less, because it was never gonna affect me.
And uh and now it's it's such a dominant thing.
And it we've really been as lucky as we can be the last 11 years, not even a threat.
There haven't even been any storms formed that were anywhere near here.
And nobody thought they were gonna be this year, based on the way the year started.
Now we've got this baby out there.
There's another hurricane also that is northeast of us here that's that's wandering and meandering.
It's not a threat to anything, but it could have a meteorological effect on this one, in terms of sucking it out of here, which would be uh great thing to happen.
Anyway, time to get your phone calls in the mix here, folks.
So we'll do that right after this.
Don't go away.
Okay.
As promised, we uh we now hit the phones, we go to Las Vegas.
John, you're first.
It's great to have you on the EIB network.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Rush, Megadidas.
Thank you, sir.
So uh let me first say that I think Trump is going to win big time, and we can talk about that later.
But my question is if he does win, with the media being all in in a way we've never seen before, what are the repercussions to the media?
What exactly do you mean?
Do you mean will there be uh blowback negative effects on the media because they will have been proven to be ineffective or the other side will be.
Well, the media doesn't the media doesn't act like they ever lose.
If Trump wins, their attitude is going to be, well, it's just gonna take us a little longer to destroy him.
And they will continue to try to destroy Trump.
And they'll do it by finding Democrats who think that he deserves to be impeached.
I mean, look at what they did to George W. Bush after the Florida recount.
I I understand that, but it just seems to me that having gone all in in such a big way, and having and not having moved the needle an inch.
And if Trump wins, I mean, at a certain point, you would think that the stock analysts and everybody else who owned who Yeah, the investors are gonna go, okay, something's wrong here.
Um, wait a minute.
Now you're bringing are you you're bringing a nipper of fact.
You're talking about some people other than media now.
You're you're talking about the betting markets now.
No, no.
I mean, the I mean, mass media's own, they're public companies.
Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Let me uh I get it.
You think the media is gonna eat crow.
You think the media is gonna figure you know what?
We are so out of touch, we had better change and get with the American people.
You you're thinking that that might be I think that the owners might force that.
Never happen.
Never ever gonna happen.
I mean, would you expect the Democrat Party to do that?
No.
Well, that's who they are.
Yeah, but they're turning into the equivalent of the Labor Party in England.
They are.
They the the media is the Democrat Party.
The media does not do new.
The media is is Democrat Party hacks assigned to journalism positions.
Some some hacks are consultants, some are candidates, some serve an elective office, some are professors, some are teaching assistants.
Uh some are run think tanks, others are in the media.
And and it's a circuitous, almost uh incestuous.
They go from one to the other.
You'll have drive-bys go to being spokesmen for candidates, to being communications directors, to going back to being in the news media.
And then some of them may even run for office on them, although that doesn't happen much.
But I've been watching things like this all my life.
Every time when the Democrat Party lost to Ronald Reagan, in two landslides, it was the American people's fault.
It was Reagan's fault.
The American people fell for a dunce.
The American people were fooled.
The American people were idiots.
Reagan was a stupid fool.
And the and the Democrats and the media embarked on plans to stop Reagan at every turn.
And they failed more than they succeeded.
But it's never going to get to the point.
I mean, even after the 2002 midterms electr midterm elections, these are these are a good illustration for my point.
The first congressional election after Bush had won the White House.
Traditionally, the incumbent party loses seats in the House and Senate just because after two years, people, enough people already fed up with the new president that they vote the other party.
Bush's party, the Republican Party actually gained seats in the 2002 off years because of the well stone memorial that the Democrats pulled off.
And even after that shocking loss, the Democrats didn't change.
And they didn't say, you know what?
We are really veered way out of touch with the American people.
We need to get back.
Nah.
No, no.
They're constitutionally incapable of that.
And so are the people that run the news divisions.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me let me expand on the premise and my answer to the last caller.
And also reference an email that I saw here during break.
It is it I don't like sometimes having to burst bubbles.
It is for me, been doing this a long time now, it's easy to spot relative newcomers to all this.
And I welcome it.
Do not misunderstand.
I was one once.
I, for example, used to be of the frame of mind.
I used to believe that we could change the media.
I used to believe I was as naive as anybody.
For example, when the media would call and want to interview me, I thought it was because they really wanted to find out what I thought about things.
I thought it was because they really wanted to find out who I am.
I'm new, I'm not well known before I showed up doing this show.
I thought there was genuine curiosity.
That's not what they wanted.
They already, in their minds, knew who I was and they didn't like it.
And they wanted face-to-face opportunities to expose my defects and my problems and my racism and bigotry and all this.
So I would answer their questions honestly, under the belief they really wanted to know what I thought.
They really wanted to understand the way I thought about political matters.
I was so naive, I really believe that many of them had not considered events as I have seen them.
That's not at all what was going on.
So when a when someone calls here and says, hey, Rush, if Trump wins this, I mean, this has got to be so humiliating and embarrassing, don't you think that the investors in these big conglomerates that own these networks like Disney owns ABC, Comcast owns NBC, don't you think at some point if if they're so bad and so wrong, the investors and the management is going to demand the media change?
That is a perfectly reasonable question.
If things, if you if you if you're not aware of the way things, how things actually function and operate.
The telling somebody no, that's not going to happen, I have to, I feel like I've got to baby them through the answer.
Fact of the matter is that at no time in our lives has the media ever acknowledged they were wrong about anybody.
Have they never felt the need to apologize for getting something terribly wrong?
They have never, after trying to character assassinate people, apologize for doing it when shown they're wrong.
So if Trump ends up winning this, the media is not going to say, Dad, how are we so wrong?
Where what did we miss?
The media is not going to, wow, are we out of touch with the American people?
They're not going to think that at all.
They're going to think they failed to get people to see Trump the way they wanted you to see Trump.
And that's just going to spur them to keep trying.
These are not media people.
They are leftists.
They are liberal Democrats.
And they never ever allow themselves to believe they are ever out of touch.
Or even in the minority.
They have a condescending contempt for the average voter out there.
That's why they call the vast majority of the geography of the country flyover country.
It's a foreign land.
So much as you would like the media to do a Maya culpa, much as you would be gratified and satisfied to hear them say, you know what, we really blew this.
We were really wrong.
We're really out of touch.
We we never understood that Trump was this.
They know full well and they hate it.
And their reaction is going to be, if Trump wins, that they failed and they've got to keep trying harder.
Now the email, it's right along the same alley.
I got an email.
Rush, do you think that moderator knows how bad a job she did last night?
And what that question is, she obviously just horrible.
But does she know?
Is she honest with it?
Well, I don't know this moderator.
So I don't really know the answer to that, but I can make a very, very educated guess because I know these people like every square inch of my glorious naked body.
And I'm here to tell you, I saw her.
I watched her when this was over.
I watched her grief the candidates go through the whole rigmarole of shaking hands and patting each other on the back and hugging.
Ah, great debate.
She was not smiling.
She didn't linger to hang around.
She kind of beelined off.
I think she knew she had done a bad job, but not for the reasons you think she did a bad job.
You were probably thinking, does she know how many interruptions she made?
Does she know how many interruptions she permitted?
Does she know how oftentimes she does she realize how unfair she was?
She's not thinking about her sort of performance that way.
If whatever her name is, if she felt bad about her performance last night, it would be for one thing only, and that is the perception she lost control of it.
She, as the moderator, didn't dominate it.
And believe me, that's what the moderator wants to be all these people who moderator supposed to blend into the background and not be seen.
BS.
The moderators are supposed to dominate this thing in the moderator world in the drive-by media, they're supposed to be as big, as important, and as involved in all this as the candidates.
I could name a couple names to prove this to you if I wanted to.
And you would immediately know what I'm talking about.
But I'm not going to do that because there's a hurricane coming.
Well, it has nothing to do with it.
I just it's a convenient reason not to mention the names.
You mean Rush?
She's she she doesn't she doesn't know how bad it looked when she kept interrupting.
Anytip started talking about the emails of the foundation, she just shut him right up.
Yep.
Exactly right.
We still think she knows how bad she was.
No, no, no, no, no.
She did exactly what she was supposed to do.
Does anybody remember the name Matt Wower?
Anybody remember what happened.
When they had a candidate's formating in a September discussion, she had Trump in there, and you had Hillary in there, Matt Wower was the nominee or the moderator, and he just wouldn't stop asking her about her emails and wouldn't stop asking her about things like that.
Do you remember what they did to Matt Lauer afterwards?
They practically excommunicated him and threw him out of the media church.
He lost his front pew reservation for a long time.
They humiliated every story.
Even now there are stories about how Matt Wower is still on the outside NBC.
Well, I guarantee you, this moderator last night knew exactly what to do.
When the emails come up, shut it down.
When the foundation comes up, shut it down.
Otherwise, she's going to be wherever Matt Lauer is, she's going to be joining him.
So she dutifully shut it down.
I had a, I didn't get to it.
And I may have it still in the stack here from earlier in the week.
There's actually a story about how the left Destroys its own if they fail to tow the line.
It's about how the media will target and take somebody out if they do not tow the liberal line.
By the same token, if you're Dan Rather and you make up stuff to try to destroy George Bush, you get caught, they'll circle the wagons and give you a new award and throw a dinner party for you to save your reputation and theirs.
But if you fall off the reservation, if you fall off the beaten path and you start asking Hillary stuff that they don't want asked, you are heastwah.
So from that, that moderator last night saved her career, saved her job.
But I mean, I think her personal.
You know, when you go home at night and nobody's there, and you sit around and you find adult beverage of the night and you reflect and ask, I think she probably feels bad that she wasn't able to maintain control.
Not that not that that sh uh what's his name?
Cain kept interrupting.
It's that she didn't do enough to make him look good while he was doing it.
That's what I mean by her losing control.
But in terms of the substance and content of the debate, nah, she's not thinking she failed.
She kept the emails out of it, and she kept the foundation out of it.
And she allowed Cain to interrupt every time Pence got going.
So from that standpoint, it was mission accomplished.
So I just saw another email.
People softly tell me they think I'm full of it.
Rush, I know what that guy was trying to say.
I think that guy's have a point.
You might be missing the guy's point, Rush.
I mean, what the guy's actually saying is look at the trouble the media's in.
They're losing readers.
They're losing advertising.
They're losing audience.
The world is crumbling around them.
It doesn't appear that it's happening, but it is.
And if Trump pulls this out and wins, it's going to show they are totally irrelevant.
And aren't they going to know that?
I don't believe, folks, that the media people you see on TV every day, from NPR to CBS to ABC to NBC to wherever, are ever going to admit they're irrelevant.
And they're not going to start acting like it.
And they're never going to say, gee, you know what?
We might have to alter the way we're.
It's just, it isn't going to happen.
Even if it means the end of them.
And the reason is simple.
They hate what we believe.
They literally despise the values and the principles that we hold dear, and they don't like us.
They are constitutionally, and I mean the way they are made, incapable of thinking that they have made a mistake or that they are wrong.
And the American people are right.
They're incapable of believing they're out of touch.
They don't think it's about being in touch.
They don't think it's about.
They don't write for the American people anyway.
They don't do their stand-ups for the American people.
Wolf Blitzer reports what he reports, so the other news journalists see it and think he's hot shot.
And the rest of them do the same.
They don't write for readers.
They write for the audience of establishment types.
They're writing for other website writers and readers and so forth.
I mean, it's a circle.
Let me get back to the phones here.
I think I've pretty much blown and obliterated this point and exposed it as well as anybody.
Enrique in Los Angeles, you're next.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Hi.
Hi, Rush.
Thank you.
The question I got with two more debates coming up.
It seems that the moderators are always liberal and you know, they the Hillary and them know what questions how to answer them ahead of time.
What can the Republican Party do to counter that?
Because they're not allowed to answer questions.
What is the proper thing to do?
Well, Chris Wallace is nominating one of these debates coming up, right?
Chris Chris Wallace is the best of the bunch.
Now he's he's gonna be he's gonna be hard-hitting on Trump, but he will be on Hillary too.
Chris Wallace is not afraid of the Matt Wower treatment.
He already gets it working at Fox.
So Chris Wallace is going to be good.
I mean, I think when I hear Chris Wallace's voice, I actually think I'm listening to something that matters.
I I'm watching something that has genuine substance to it.
Like Brinkley and like the old hosts of these shows in the days gone by.
But the other moderator, I don't know who the other moderator is.
Let me ask you, in answering your question, let me ask you one.
What did you think?
Did you see the debate last night?
I sure did.
What do you think of it?
What was it?
How did how did uh how did Pence do, do you think?
Uh he seemed like a baby, very I mean, I couldn't even believe how he was jumping in immediately.
I mean, so unprofessional, uh so unpresidential, just really No, no, not Kane, Pence.
How did you think Mike Pence?
Oh, no, no, I apologize.
Pence did incredible.
The opposite of what I just said.
Very professional, very right, but he got cut off so many times.
Okay, so now right there.
So Pence did a great job, you think, but he still got cut off.
So the next there the the one of the next two moderators is gonna be this moderator on steroids, is gonna be going up now.
They're gonna be going not gonna wait for the candidate to remind Trump he called women whatever he did in Mexico.
The moderator's gonna do it.
And uh what should Trump do?
I mean, that there's there's various strategies here on how you react to these kinds of attacks and assaults.
The next moderator is gonna try to do it for Hillary.
Cain did it himself last night for Hillary.
The next moderator is gonna have to do it for Hillary because Hillary won't.
Well, she will.
But the point is, you you you want you want the guy, you want Trump to look good, look strong.
How do you do it when you're being assaulted the way Pence was last night?
In your mind.
That is the question.
Um that is uh, I guess the question that it's just unbelievable.
I mean, the cutoff uh let me ask you this.
Do you think, and by the way, the debate audience last night was small.
It was smaller than the VEP debate in 2012 and smaller than the audience in 2008.
But regardless, the people who saw the debate, the conventional wisdom in the drive-by media and a lot of places, Pence was great.
He was calm, he was cool, he was collected, he was smart, he didn't take the bait.
Now, do you think Enrique, the majority of people watching the debate reacted to it that way?
Do you think the people that stopped listening to Puff Daddy for two minutes last night?
You know, this guy Pence, he was really calm and cool and collected.
The people that stopped following Kim Kardashian for two hours last night, do you think their conclusion, this Pence guy really came off like an adult?
Why, this guy, he was really calm and cool and reserved.
I mean, that's the consensus review of Pence is what I just told you.
Do you think most people watching the debate saw it that way?
I guess that's the question if if most of the people are pro-Republican or anti-definitive.
Well, the Frank Lunt's focus group says they did.
The Franklin's Focus Group said that most people watching thought that Kane was a jerk and it Pence was great.
And if that's true, then then if Trump does the same thing, will he get the same accolades?
If Trump doesn't take the bait, if Trump doesn't fight back, if Trump remains cool, calm and collected, and stays focused on the points he wants to make and ignores the personal attacks from Hillary.
Will he get the same reviews that Pence got?
Man, he was good.
Man, he was calm and did you see that's so cool.
So collected, not rattled whatsoever.
Hillary was flabbing her gums and it wouldn't have any impact at all.
He stayed focused on his mess.
Do you think he'll get the same positive reviews that Pence did if he replicates Pence's strategy and performance?
And I'm here to tell you the answer to that is no way.
And we'll take a break.
We have to.
I have no choice Here, folks.
Okay, now the hurricane is beginning to be seen now.
Satellite views, radar views beginning, it's coming into view now, which means we don't have to depend on the hurricane center or other locations to tell us where it is and how it's moving.
I just found a couple websites where I can actually see the thing moving.
It's just off the northwest coast of Cuba, and it's tracking towards us.
It's a big mama.
And it's a defined eye.
The eyewall had disappeared as it traveled over Haiti and far eastern Cuba.
So yeah, it's a northeastern Cuba that's it's over.
