Yep; that's Shep, and yep, he's left of the storm.
Is there ANY news station I can watch that won't make me run from the room screaming??
I just can't deal with that BS again with this storm
21 foot waves now being reported 64 miles south of Dauphin...
I assume this is water heading for the Ponchatrain??
Just now transcribing Chris M on PMSNBC
Chris: Can you actually project these almost constant geometric turns
The rest is all the WeatherDude:
Turns are very erratic
98 degrees with 102 degrees heat index for people on hiways in Houston
New stuff, winds down to 145 (still old report) but bringing it ashore as Cat 4.
NOLA now under TS warning
Raining hard
Could rain there for 72 hours
Official forecast track has not changed much.
If you are on the right side of the landfall, etc. blah blah
We have indications this storm is starting to slow down.
Some computer models show storm stalling out in Eastern Texas, showing "squirrely lines" after land fall.
One to two feet of rain
Then, tributaries lead to Mississippi, and "we all know where those little rivers go"
Beaumont, Port Arthur is projected now as area of landfall
