Good map - it still amazes me that there are so many roads and towns out on all that 'squishy' delta land.

Saw a NOAA observation post down past Pilottown (just as far to the south and east as you can get on that map) indicating 22 KT sustained winds.

I keep harping on it, but if this is truly a 976 mb storm, then I can't understand the apparent reluctance to go ahead and declare Isaac a hurricane. Doesn't make sense to me - especially with multiple recon reports indicating that the wind speeds are there. I'm not about hype, but I am concerned about public safety, and if that word "hurricane" makes people take care of themselves better, then let's save a few lives.

More evidence (the top line is the important one):
