Looks like buoy 42001 couldn't handle the 40 foot waves yesterday:
Station 42001 went adrift on 09/23/2005 and the last report from its moored position (listed above) was at 0230 GMT.
The buoy that we'd be getting readings off of right now was busted loose from Katrina. Apparently the meterological buoys in the GOM are only designed for CAT3's. The way things are going I think there is going to be a universal change in the way everyone around the GOM prepares for hurricanes. Levee's, houses, buoys, oil platforms, EVERYTHING is going to have to be redesigned.
