Re: President Bush declares State of Emergency in Louisiana

OK I guess I wasn't being clear. I already saw the recon data you posted because I went to the NHC site and as you could see, I put some of the info in my post, that you responded to. I don't cut and past the recon data in full because the mods request that we don't do it. As Mike also pointed out it is right here on the board as well. What I was asking was since that was 90 min old (and now about 2 hours old) is there any other recon data? I wasn't asking to see the data that I already saw and commented on in my post.

More specifically I'm looking for information about other runs that might have found stronger winds. I realize the storm grew when it reorganized but still I was surprised at the low intensities. If you went by the recon data it looks like a Cat 2 with a Cat 4 pressure. If you look on the sat images, it is looking pretty impressive. So I am trying to reconcile this info.
