Re: New Orleans Prepares for Katrina

Anyone in the cone should take heed. Katrina has a mind of her own and there is still alot of uncertainty about where she will make landfall.. hopefully we will know more with the next update. Also I heard Cantore say she is already one for the history books----- first time since 1916 that 3 major hurricanes will make landfall in the Gulf in one season



Maybe Katrina will fall apart and be a cat 1/2 at landfall. Hey, don't laugh, I've seen it happen before.

Anyway, I think even the cone will need to be expanded in the next update if the turn trend continues - although the last recon seemed to indicate it was not continuing, so who knows? If it does appear to be turning early, the forecast track will likely shift, and with it, the cone.

No one is out of danger yet.
