I ve been watching the weather buoy info and it is still showing 50 kmph winds and 40 ' waves - that happens every year!

I think we have been hyped.

Where is this 160 mph everyone is talking about?

Weather prediction isn't perfect. FWIW, if the storm doesn't live up to its billing, I'd see that as cause for celebration, not a reason to kvetch.

This is still a dangerous storm at 140, 130, 120, 110 or 100 MPH winds and rain... New Orleans is not out of danger by a long shot!

Neither are the areas to the east in Mississippi and Alabama...

I have to admit that those posts of 100,000 dead and a virtual doomsday were over the top and never realistic, but this is still a monster, make no mistake.
