Hurricane Katrina Live Thread, Part III
NHC-NOAA ^ | 27 August 2005 | NHC-NOAA

Posted on 08/26/2005 10:25:04 PM PDT by NautiNurse

Hurricane Katrina continues to strengthen in the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, the forecast models are converging upon New Orleans. However, all interests in the northern Gulf of Mexico should follow the path of this storm, and be prepared for a major hurricane landfall. Throughout Friday, the official track forecasts moved west, as Hurricane Katrina delayed making the anticipated northwest turn.

The following links are self-updating.

Pretty much all the models (with the sole exception of the FSU superensemble) and the recon schedule and data are all publicly avaliable.

Is it me or is The Weather Channel the only network out there bothering to cover this? CNN has Larry King interviewing Pamela Anderson; MSNBC is airing "Captured" and FOX is doing a piece on a missing Ga. woman.

Does this mean that the feds are preempting the idiot governor and mayor? I hope so. Usually I hate federal intervention in anything, but that governor of Louisiana just seems like a complete idiot.

Are you kidding me? Houma??

No, not kidding. The idiots. They think they have plenty of time. The problem is the main way out is west to Lafayette and then north or west from there. This storm is so big that with a jog one way or the other there could be no way out. I tried but didn't get through to them.

I am not sure what is actually happening. One of the weather channel reporters talks like the decision to evac NO will be made localy in the morning. I am not sure who actually is in control. Obviously the feds are wanting to control things.

NHC guy on 870 AM radio said animals are leaving the coast. "Flocks of snakes and turtles".



.....


Like what occurred during the last tsunami, animals prove they're smarter than humans when it comes to basic survival "instincts".

This storm hasn't done much of anything expected to date.

Our mathematical models are pretty poor, aren't they?

WC just had a report on that evacuation to Jackson,MS is taking 24 hours. I had the sound down so I am assuming they are saying that is out of NO and over to Jackson. What would normally take about 4 maybe 4 1/2 hours is taking 24??

BTW, I am in SC and my family is in Long Beach, MS and Diamondhead, MS and NO, LA. Prayers for all of you in the path of this storm

"Obviously the feds are wanting to control things."


...........

Because it's OBVIOUS the N.O. local and state officials are TOO STUPID TO SEE PAST THEIR NOSES. The feds don't want(to be blamed) to add insult to INJURY when all the dead bodies start floating back to the top after the hurricane has come and gone.
