recon on there way in towards center....wonder if they will find any higher winds?..... i sure hope they have there cameras with them on this flight!!!!
Katrina should be retired and go down in history most likely now!!!!
No question about that. It would likely have been retired simply from the devastation in the S. Florida area. Looking at the latest IR imagery... I see no reason to believe the winds will go higher than 175-180. In fact it might be looking a little ragged in comparison to an hour ago, so they might drop to 160-170. But I was floored by the 175 so soon, so it might be higher than I'm thinking.
