Re: Katrina Strengthens - Destination Uncertain

From your post: "Now that I think about it. The 104 kt wind in the SE Quad. Could be from a convective tower/ spot wind gust."
Yes you can still see this thing on Key West long-range and there is strong convection in the SE eyewall.
OK so not quite at Cat 3 even though it is still trying to get there. I just went back and looked and pressure has dropped almost 40mb since 7am Friday morning, and winds have increased from 75mph to 110mph, so that isn't shabby.
