feel better now?
Not especially. I knew I should never have come onto this thread.
Out.
Looking at the Pensacola radar, the eye is now entirely on-land. The western half of the bottom part of Mississippi (not sure if it's a bootheel or panhandle or whatever) is getting raked - the eyewall is bright red.
Winds now look to be out of the west over northern Ponchatrain - which will push the surge out. Surge danger should drop off quickly now.
However, there is a nasty-looking band south of NO that will probably hit within an hour. The TV talking head idiots will convince folks that the worst is over, they'll start going outside and that band will hit with enough force to blow debris around.
