Pressure down to 910 mb--we are looking at a Cat 5 hurricane with the next update any moment.
Speaking of surf's up, the surfers up here are having a ball. Otherwise, it's turning up a lot of algae, shellfish and crabs on my local beach.
Again- for comparison sake -Camille was:
WINDS: 190 mph
PRESSURE: 909 Mb./26.84 inches.
STORM - SURGE: 22 - 25 feet above Mean Tide.
TWC is now saying moving @ 12 mph...908mb
I think it's already been declared a Cat 5.
Yikes!
Well katrina looks like the one we have all been waiting -- DREADING -- for. She is a monster. 160 MPH and still deepening. The Eye is still 30 Miles wide and will do nothing but shrink and intensify.
She has perfect conditions in front of her. No shear, 90 MPH water, and due to all the rain in the SE a nice soupy atmosphere with very little dry air.
I fear this storm people. Central Pressure is 908 MB. Camille was 905 when she hit, Andrew was 922. Think about that.
If you live anywhere from souther LA to Pensacola -- GET OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the ping. I'm praying HARD for those about to be hit with this MONSTER. Praying for those involved with public safety and emergencies. This is a monster hurricane.
