I think those are called "HRCTs"
"Tornadic" type damage expected with eye-wall, but much broader than a tornado (per Weather Service interview live on KPLC now)...
steve,
at one time this was a 5, doesn't that water under that pressure have to go somewhere regardless of the what the wind speeds are now?
Everybody drink.
Here we go again. You here for the night?
Hey, I know this is really series and hugh, but I really must get my shower in before landfall (no, I'm not in the zone, but don't want to miss..) so ya'll ping me if Shep gets blown away! (OMG, a RED hat! Is he freeping?)
trop. low, outta play... correct me if i'm wrong anyone.
It is in shallow water now... Where it is now, I worked about 200 miles offshore, and it was only 200 feet deep (this was back in the 1970s).
Also, the storm recently (this afternoon) went through an eyewall replacement cycle. Takes time after (if I understand correctly) to intensify.
But I always thought shallow water was bad for hurricanes.
Where Katrina came in was very deep water -- the mouth of the Mississippi.
I think so too. I am getting a sick feeling now.
facade of a building has collapsed..Shep is going to be lucky to survive this mess.
I wonder if the siren Shep heard was a tornado warnings???
House fires? They must not have hurricane insurance.
Thanks for the info
The bozo is wandering over to a concrete building that fell down.

- Position 29.1 north, 93.2 west, 50 miles southeast of Sabine Pass (Texas/Louisiana line).
- Motion to the northwest at 12 mph, with the motion expected to hold until landfall. That puts landfall at roughly between 2 am and 3 am just east of Sabine Pass. Also, the eyewall is about to hit the Lake Charles area.
- Maximum sustained winds are about 120 mph, and the pressure is estimated at 931 mb (another hurricane hunter is headed in shortly).
If we didn't have Katrina to compare it with, it would be hard to downplay. It didn't end up as strong as possible at landfall, but there will be lots of damage. I suspect there will be early reports that it was 'nothing' as well. ;-)
Hey, he's got a new sign!
