Re: Category 5 Katrina Winds to 175MPH

Margie..that's a given & what others have been trying to stress...she's a huge powerful storm & regardless of where the bullseye is the effects will be far reaching...not just coastal areas either...inland as well.

I think those who live along areas that have experienced these things first hand are aware of this...it's just getting the point to others that just because landfall might a little more to east or west doesn't really matter in the greater scheme of things.

I mean according to maps they've been showing on TWC Pcola can expect 20-25 ft surge & that's with having lanfall in LA.
