Re: Category 5 Katrina Winds to 175MPH

I imagine that the people in the NWS/Slidell office, if the threat is there, will move into their storm room or even move out of the office and coordinate with their backup office -- every NWS office has one, and I'm sure they are prepping for this eventuality -- to cover their area for them.

As for Baton Rouge: gusts to 100mph are possible, but that's probably on the high end of things.
