Landfall suggestions?

Colleen, I'm with you on that thought and theory. The GFS still has about 1.5-2 hours before the data run is completed. I think the next GFDL run at 06Z (2AM EDT) should include ANY possible changes.

An afterthought about Jim Cantore and landfall. Jim is very mobile. Even with a camera and Satellite truck. More mobile than most families. So please don't count on any specific point being the Landfall point.

Jim was 40 miles East of Katrina's landfall point. I highly suspect that was an intentional mislocation, due to Katrina's surge effects.
