I've heard they taste like chicken.
I think we have a ringer here.
That meteorologist on WWL is really good. I heard his explanation about the eyewall replacement cycle and talking about 90 degree water temperatures as it comes near the coast to fuel it even more.
This hurricane is going to do damage to communities from Florida to maybe Texas. It might well kill people in such highly Christian towns as Biloxi, Pensacola, Mobile etc.
The people in New Orleans who are most likely to be killed in this hurricane are the poor, the sick, the elderly, children and other people who do not have the means or the ability to leave the city.
So, if this is some divine punishment meted out for the sinful behavior on Bourbon Street, it's kind of going to kill and ruin a lot of people who have absolutely nothing to do with those goings-on.
The Bayou political machine can't escape Diddle E.'s links. Too funny!
Yeah the BOUY's and pressure readings are the most telling in this storm, IMHO. The BOUY's are at sea level and the pressure is very reliable as far as I can tell.
Here is a link to many of the BOUY's

We sit here and watch, and pray. It's all we can do. I wish there was more we could do at the moment.
Two sites: WWL TV (New Orleans) was speculating it, and from the radar,it certainly looked like it to me, and people at http://www.easternuswx.com were saying it before I heard it at WWL. Water is pretty hot where it's going over temps in the upper 80s and 90s, and there have been some weather thingies going on a few hours earlier that may indicate strengthening like it did last night.
It's going to be a serious storm, whether it goes in at 150 kt, or 175kt,or 140 kt, but don't count on it weakening a lot before it goes in.
I grew up on red beans and rice (and i'm overdue to make a pot of red beans...)...
I don't understand..The date on your info is Aug 26
I was taping the mayor and just rewound the tape. He said "I think I just got a report that shows it down to 140."
It seems to me that a recreation of the eye would reduce the strength...wouldn't it use up energy to do the act?
janice dean back on, and seeming to be better in control.
sonar, i do apologize if i had offended you... there was certainly no intention to do so... while watching fox, i came on to the thread and read a few hundred posts prior to my own, and it seemed that i wasn't alone in thinking geraldo had turned into a walking adjective...
as i said, no offense was meant... i certainly don't take this hurricane lightly, but many times at the most tense, stress-filled times for me, a little humor helped me cope with it... i will send a prayer out for you, though...
Gotta love a hypocritical finatic that tells lies and judges everyone else.
My lawyers are telling me that I don't have the authority to order a mandatory zot...
That "wacko" model isn't even a model. It's simply what the hurricane would do if it continued it's current forward motion (XTRAP: stands for extrapolation).
he outted himself...some people don't know when to shut up....
