I've been meaning to tell you, Dog. You saw this coming when the storm exited Florida and called this one accurately from the very first thread. It didn't happen exactly the way we thought it would -- and it looked okay right after the storm -- but you've called this from the very beginning. I'm flabbergasted by it all.
NOAA predicted Katrina's storm track precisely as early as Friday.
It struck the Gulf Coast within 50miles of the forecast they gave at that time. Somewhere, on some thread or other, there is a compilation of their predicted track ... incredible accuracy with this storm.
