Re: Katrina Moves Northwest Still Forecast Toward New Orleans

We all hope she will weaken.. even just a little but afraid that the problem with New Orleans is we don't need it to weaken as much as we need her rainfall to go poof and as that is not going to happen.. there is a real problem. The problem is not the difference here of 5 or 10 or even 20 mph winds.. it is the rainfall and New Orlean's inability to handle it.

We all are hoping for some miracle. Read somewhere about dry air intrusion somewhere.. right now I'll grab onto any possible scenario where the damage is not quite catastrophic and just 'bad'
