Didnt some blame President Bush(the first one) on the amount of death(not enough warning, not enough response yada,yada) well if my tinfoil hat is fit properly, maybe he is trying to say they hid the deaths to try and help Bush get re-elected.

I'm a bit of a connisseur of the analysis of the foil-clad mind, and I think it's based on the mythology that the forecast for Andrew was horribly blown (you'd be amazed at the number of people that sincerely believe that Andrew was forecast by the NHC to "dissipate" or "Curve out to sea" and it was a complete surprise it hit Florida) and thus the motivation to cover up the deaths, because of NOAA's embarassment about their forecast and fear they'd be held responsible for the deaths.

Actually, of course, the forecast for Andrew was excellent, NHC never forecast Andrew to fall apart or curve out to sea, and hurricane watches and warnings were put out for S. Florida at the appropriate times. What happens (as with Charley) is people attempt to transfer their own personal unpreparedness and failure to follow warnings, on to a mythical mistake by the forecasters.

Hurricane Katrina Discussion Number 28

Statement as of 5:00 PM EDT on August 29, 2005

Katrina continues to weaken as it moves farther inland. Unfortunately...there have been no official surface observations near the center over the past several hours. Based on WSR-88D Doppler velocities...the current intensity estimate is 65 kt...however this is admittedly a crude estimate since the inland ratio of surface winds to velocities aloft is not well documented.

The forecast intensity has a weakening rate that is more or less consistent with the decay SHIPS guidance. Katrina is forecast to weaken to a tropical storm this evening and drop below storm strength sometime Tuesday morning.

By the time the system nears the Great Lakes...it should be losing tropical characteristics.

Katrina's extratropical remnant is likely to become absorbed by another extratropical cyclone over Canada later in the period.

Katrina has accelerated a little more and the initial motion is now 360/16. The primary steering current is being provided the flow between a large eastward-moving low to the north of the eastern Great Lakes and a ridge near the southeast United States coast. This steering should cause the cyclone to turn gradually toward the northeast...and accelerate some more over the next few days.

Even through the system is weakening...the threat of strong inland winds will remain into this evening. Of particular concern is the potential loss of life due to falling trees. Inland flooding will also continue to be a hazard.

Sorry, that's just not true. and it's a rumor turned myth. I know from first hand experience as past admin director for pathology at the largest S. Florida hospital. We coordinated with other hospitals in case there was a large number of deaths and received consistent reports.

JUst watched Jeanne Maserve on CNN (I know I know blasphemy) -- She said that the comments earlier that New Orleans looked to have dodged the bullet are wrong. She said that now that she is out and about that what she is seeing is "armageddon".

Geez, this is a already happening in GA.? Tornado spin offs. I had a friend who tried to lure me to moving to TN. After driving through their thunder storms during a vacation I almost pee'd my pants. Lush beautiful country, you can keep those lightening bolts. Was like going through a WWII

WSB: First pictures from Carroll County; multiple homes destroyed from those tornadoes; Luckily no injuries reported. The pictures show several homes with the second stories ripped off, plus trees twisted and stripped of bark.

New tornado warning in Russell Co., AL, headed to the North/Northeast at 50 MPH. It's expected to arrive in the Carroll County area (where the first tornadoes touched down) within the next 45 minutes.

New tornado warning for Floyd Co., GA (just north of the city of Rome).

The same thing has been happening all yr. Almost every storm originated in Africa, but waited to develop till it was close to the U.S.

Yes...I was thinking the same thing today. As soon as it looked like Miami dodged the bullet the news was " damage south of Miami"...but not for DAYS did we get it. Sitting up here in Central Florida I couldn't believe it after hearing how intense the winds were.

This just seems eerie.
