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

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.




Actually, Both Betsy and the 1947 storm has paths similar to Katrina's path. Dr. Dassau stated that Betsy had deflected south on the east side of FL. Whereas Katrina started her SW movement prior to landfall and is continuing that direction at this time.

Betsy and 1947 storm tracks would be comparable to Katrina's to this point.
