Re: Katrina Aftermath

Clark,

A few questions.

1. How does a hurricane know it is time to re-place an eye-wall. And what causes that to happen?

2. Why does the storm intensify rather rapidily after it completes the replacement as shown with Katrina?

3. If there was a wind fiels of over 100 miles of hurricane winds from the eye, then why isn't the left side just as strong as the right fron quadrant?

I will go on record to say this, that Katrina will undoubtedly be the most destructive hurricane on record as to damage, strenth, insurance claims, and sadly causualties. To see a storm on radar and satalite view of sustained winds well over 175MPH is beyond belief. Her name will never be used again, and hope that our season is over now. Unfortunately, we have till 30 NOV.
