Re: Category 5 Katrina Winds to 175MPH

Clark,
If Kat does exactly what the models say on the main page of this forum, say the UKMET. With the storm at a Cat 5 level, at land fall, will the angle of the storm still go the direction of the model or will the impact change the direction, I am truly envisioning a spinning top bouncing off objects in its way and in this case the shores and the buildings etc, breaking some of the wind flow, Or will the atmosphere have changed or is this information that is going to be found out on a moment by moment observation.? We in Florida never knew the extent of inland damage until Charley came along.
