with much stronger winds.
broke an offshore derrick wind meter at 240 mph as I recall.
i was there....about 11 miles inland....a soon to be 7th grader at the time at a camp
that said....this storm could be quite bad...anything south of NO is very unprotected....Golden Meadow....LaFourche, Grand Isle.....fuggedaboutit
I believe that if some of these predictions are true, worst case, more than the "local economy" may be devestated. With all the petrochemical and chemical and shipping assets that may be destroyed, this may a disastrous national event.

No, you are very correct.
I think the very idea of presenting such a disaster would appear chicken-little like so they are hedging their bets.
It's a shame they aren't doing their jobs by telling the truth.
Exactly - look what Isabel did in 2003 to VA, MD and DE.......and that wasn't in either bay.
No, not just you. I knew about the "tropical storm off the Florida coast" but I thought "what a relief for them to only get a tropical storm." Then, of course, it's all of a sudden a Hurricane, does damage to Florida and, now, is threatening one of the worst natural disasters in our nation's history. Amazing stuff.
She is apparently realizing her pressure's potential.
Heck, just think of all the damage Agnes did to the Northeast, and it was barely a hurricane when it hit.
wardaddy,What does all of 11 mean?
What about the people stranded at the airport???
What the hell is wrong with everybody??
They need to be taken out of there!
I guess we are about to find out. That Dome is old so hopefully this will not be an issue..

FORECASTER KNABB
probably will undergo an ERC before it hits land.......but even that may not weaken this monster much. It didn't earlier today. Either way, it will hit with at least cat 3 strength.
yes, what controls that? if it goes through an eyewall replacement cycle as it nears the shore, it will be weaker, but if it completes that cycle while out at sea, it hits at full strength. is that the calculation here?
I still don't see from the radar loops, alot of northern component to its movement - is there a chance it could come in further west, west of NO? of course, that would put NO in the northeastern quadrant of the eye wall.
My guess, his age at the time :)
Here's the thing about the bonehead media. They know we're probably about to experience something bigger than 9/11 and they don't care until it happens.
Instead of warning people in SE LA with blanket coverage, they're saying: "Wake us up when the thousands of dead bodies are ready for the camera."
