Hurricane Katrina Live Thread, Part VII
NOAA - NHC ^ | 28 August 2005 | NOAA - NHC

Posted on 08/28/2005 8:10:23 PM PDT by NautiNurse

Extremely dangerous Hurricane Katrina is bearing down on the North Central Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans metro area. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin conceded that as many as 100,000 inner-city residents didn't have the means to leave and an untold number of tourists were stranded by the closing of the airport. At this hour, people are still filing into the Superdome after security screening for weapons and contraband. National Guard have brought in 360,000 MRE (meals ready to eat) to feed the estimated 30,000 storm refugees in the Superdome.

that last report I heard from Lyons on TWC. the best "hope" (if you can call it that) would be for this thing to ride up the 90.0 longitude line so the eye crosses the city and the lake. the wind effects would be lower then taking any part of the eye wall. the flooding would still be an issue, but there isn't much left to hang your hat on as far as "hope" goes. This was the gist I got from what Lyons was saying.

see you all early tomorrow morning.

C'mon guys lets keep this a hurricane thread

I couldn't agree more. Some of these posts are distracting and annoying. I mean passing recipe's?
