Re: Katrina's Forecast Track Shifts West, Northern Gulf Needs to Watch

In my neverending quest for a historical precedent... I began to think Betsy was the perfect analogy, although the southern motion was on the east side of Florida. The storm still ended up in the vicinity of where it is now and well, we all know where it went.... However, Betsy turns out not to be the best match.... damn, TWC is talking about Betsy... my analogy was first.... Anyway, even better...

1947, unnamed, almost identical path. Not a good outcome.
