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.

....... and so do others. It was only meant as a play on "Voyage to The Bottom of The Sea" --- an Irwin Allen production.

It's normal to derive pleasure from witnessing destruction?

Can anyone tell me how Orlando is? My neighbors are there today from Idaho for vacation. I'm watching their pets for them. I asked them why they'd go now, but they didn't seem to care.

Thank you!
I would remind everyone to ask themselves how they would feel to be in N.O. and be UNABLE to get out. Many are in that position and the helpless fear is very real. Please don't joke about the destruction of a city and the loss of lives. We don't sit around making light of tornadoes ripping through the Midwest.
Those of you who take 'perverse pleasure' in this scenario-please do us the courtesy of waiting until we ARE wiped off the face of the earth before getting out the popcorn. This isn't a movie- and I'm sorry if I sound angry, I am.

Orlando is fine. I flew in there the other night when I couldn't get into Tampa.

Do you have data more recent than this model run?

Cool it.

He/she said, "I'll have to admit to a slightly sick pleasure in watching these storms." "slightly sick" ............. oh never mind. If you have never found some odd fascination in natural catastrophes, then there is no explaining it to you.

"Evac. orders for New Orleans? The whole city or the usual "low-lying areas"? My friend who lives there hadn't heard anything about it just half an hour ago. I'm so worried about her because she doesn't like to get out -- got stuck in traffic for 16 hours last year and doesn't want to do it again."

I followed your interesting threads late last night into early morning. (I'm in NJ) Around 1:30 am, I watched the weather channel talk about heat forecasted for New Orleans this weekend. He barely mentioned the possibility of the storm arriving. I can see why your friend just heard about it now.
