Re: New Orleans Prepares for Katrina

Katrina this evening is beginning to once again look like a monster on the IR and WV imagery - not that it didn't look like a monster before but it's REALLY looking like a MONSTER now. When a hurricane IR signature resembles a doughnut it's time to get out of the way. I would be surprised if the next recon does not find a pressure in the 920-930 range and winds in excess of 130mph. But Katrina has surprised me so many times so far...
