Re: Hurricane Warning Up Morgan City, LA to FL/Alabama Border

Lightning in the eyewall is something I have heard about before - but you're right, it's not common except in EXTREMELY powerful (cat 4/5) storms.

Something to consider: Last night at this point in time, where was Katrina forecast to be headed? Not where it currently is headed, I don't believe. Forecasts change - that's why they are forecasts. No one is safe!
