Yeah, check out the explosion of convection on this IR SAT. The CDO has really expanded to the north and east over the last several hours. This looks like one massive storm - may be our 21st century Camille.




and it still has all day tomorrow at the very least to intensify even further. I suspect even if it makes landfall at N.O., we may get hurricane force winds in the Panhandle as huge as it is becoming. Not 140+, but 75 is possible in gusts maybe.

Edit to reply to Reaper:
I do not find anything "cool" about the stadium effect in a hurricane, personally!
