There is nothing out there to influence this "lady", Katrina. She is eating up the atmosphere like one of a kind, on her own, and going her own indiscriminate and selfish way.
See the table at the top of the thread
Yes, it's designating both sides of the highway to go in the same direction. For example, both northbound and southbound lanes are designated northbound, to get everyone out of the city.

Joe, your link isn't working. It looks like it might be misspelled. Can you repost?
Thanks!
Vortex says 160 knots, which is 184 MPH. By the way MB is millbars (pressure).
Millibars. It is a measure of atmosphereic pressure. The lower the pressure, the worse the storm, if I understand correctly.
Can you explain to me what this means? What do you mean by pressure dropping to 902 mb?
Contraflow is using both sides of a divided highway(usually) to both go one way. All lanes are outbound, for instance. They do it in Florida in emergency, get more people out of the area.
Have the networks even covered this?...I checked during both playings of President Bush's speech today...and all I saw on the networks were infomercials!
Being on the Georgia coast and having the good fortune to dodge all these hurricanes time after time, my heart goes out to all those people and the certain devastation they face in the next 24 hours. I have always read about Camille ( I wasn't born when it hit ) and I am so sick to see it about to be repeated. I don't really think that I have ever seen a hurricane of this magnitude in my lifetime. But for the grace of God go I .....
Thank you Spiff!!! This is the coolest thing I have seen in some time.
XM247....
They have contraflowed Mississippi too.....largs traffic jams reported...
My prayers are for you as well as the current citizens of NO. May God bless you!
So you think we are going to see 180 to 190 miles per hour winds?
Katrina,my mamma said she's the Devil.
So what your saying is Katrina has become a black hole
I never thought I'd see another storm of that magnitude in my lifetime. But it sure looks like it.
I think she has a very good shot of going sub 900... already the strongest hurricane since records began in the GOM now. 180-190 sustained is possible, but I think we are starting to near theoretical limits with strength.
Too bad it doesn't go far enough.
