Sorry about the initial report of what the Mayor said..he was incorrect.
Geraldo is speaking to Major John Gordon who is flying recon: 145knts - 160mph. He said the best hope for weakening would be an EWRC just before landfall.
I'm not sure what Max Mayfield said on CNN, Phil, but the 140mph winds were from the Mayor of Biloxi.
The news channels have the worst timing for commercial breaks...here is Geraldo speaking to the guy who is flying IN THE EYE of Katrina and he cuts him off so we can all hear about how they are going to have CONTINUOUS coverage. ARGH!
