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

Quote:

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



Sorry, but that path is in no way similar to Katrina's. The 1947 storm moved south to the east of Florida, not to the west. And, it was weaker.
1947 was a high end category 4 when it hit se florida. it was a cat 3 when it hit louisiana. there's a remote similarity, but '47 was trucking... katrina has been crawling. -HF
