12H 29/0000Z 28.8N 89.4W 70 KT 80 MPH

24H 29/1200Z 29.7N 90.4W 65 KT 75 MPH...INLAND

It’s probably NOT bad there since Isaac passed that area...about 36 hours ago.

The storm's proximity to dry land will inhibit strengthening, and frankly, Isaac still looks as ragged as ever.

Light cloud cover here in Lafayette (LA). Not expecting much effect her ‘til this evening.

Just looked at Intellicast radar loop, looks like it took a jog due North, interesting to see if that keeps up.

Isaac has been a stair-stepping wobbler for days.

Lib-dems are wetting themselves; they’ve now got a ***hurricane from the evil GOP*** to hurt the poor and disenfranchised in NOLA! Screw the fact that the rest of the inland areas can use the rainfall.

THey are probably already preparing for Obama's speech to the nation to show his support of the people of NO -- to be broadcast at the exact time of Romney's acceptance speech at the RNC of course.

There is some data showing the storm continuing to creep west, potentially not making landfall until it reaches western Louisiana or even east Texas.

Despite MSM wishcasting, it's no Katrina.

I checked right before I posted; it was a TS at the time.

All your graphics also showed it to be a TS at the time; some still do.

Partly sunny and breezy in Gulfport. I doubt we’ll lose power.

On the weather channel radar, the storm off South Carolina is larger and oranger than the tropical storm in the Gulf

Stay safe......

It occurs to me after watching the hype over Isaac by the Weather Channel (owned by NBC) and the potential damage this barely Cat I hurricane will do to NOLA, we will see much ballyhooing of Obama after he “saves the day”. The new levees and flood containment efforts by the Corps of Engineers will all be due to Obama. The relief efforts for the few will be perfectly executed all because of Obama’s leadership and foresight. The perfectly executed evacuation and subsequent sheltering efforts will be the smoothest and best ever. Prepare to retch.

[NautiNurse]

I'll repeat from the previous thread (btw-thanks for adding the link):

Yesterday, I watched a video clip of a bare earthen levee--all fresh dirt, no grass--being covered by plastic sheeting and weighted down by sporadically tossed sandbags.

The fix is in.

Usually you see a slight turn to the right as they approach land, hope that happens as we are lined up for the eye right now if it continues northwest.

Maybe it will stay there and dampen the Democrats celebration in Charlotte next week.

One of these days you may learn that I move faster than a hurricane AND the internet.

The weather took its toll on protester turnout at the GOP convention. Cara Jennings, a community organizer from Palm Beach County, braved the elements dressed as a sparkling pink vagina, along with several dozen other protesters.

This was actually in the NWS/NOAA release? LOL!!
