Spectacular convection now circling the core. Looks like quite a few hot towers on the north side now, which had no convection just two hours ago.

RECON HDOB pass picked up 951-952mb pressure just now too.



That's right. Eye clearly visible. If Gustav stalls it'll be like a cracked flywheel.
He'll explode just South of Baton Rouge. E BR could flood all the way to L Pontchartrain.
Strengthening all the way in tonite.

Watch the Bonnet Carre Spillway. It will get the highest surge. SLOSH model.
