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

I can not think of a worse place for a possible monster like this to hit then one that would put NO in the NE eye wall. The only saving grace would be a quick forward speed might reduce the flooding from rain; but not sure the levy system would not get breached by surge through the delta.

The bad of a fat forward speed is the lack of chance to weaken prior to landfall. I know firsthand what Charley did to the interior of Florida thanks to his forward speed. I never expected to have a 115MPH storm pass over my house in the center of the state. I just hope she does not attain her potential. Would love to see an under acheiver.
