Category 4 Katrina Heads for the Coast

Quote:
I was talking about earlier in Ivan's period but Ivan was a nightmare here. Katrina will be worse and that is hard to imagine.
I realize that - but i thought I read into your post that you felt the same end result - weakening - might occur with Katrina, which looks to have a probability of ziltch.
For me, the best reference is... well, I don't have one. I've seen super storms out in the GOM like this, but they have always weakened before landfall (I was born in 1972 - my boss lived through Camille though).
ETA quote from Jim Cantore: "What you see on the Mississippi Coast waking up this morning... on Tuesday morning, you won't see it." Something like that anyway. It's true, too. I had reservations next weekend in Biloxi, too - guess I had better find a new form of entertainment.
Seriously - I just keep shaking my head. This is unbelievable.
ETA: CNN says the Superdome will be opened as a shelter. The Superdome is safe? Or are they just that desperate?
ETA: Question for METs: Why has the NHC not gone to 2 hour updates? Is it because of the distance of Katrina from shore and the fact that it is not visible on radar yet? The storm appears to be strengthening so fast, more frequent updates may be warranted.

The Rules Once Again
|
To maintain the quality of the website, please follow the following rules:
Before you post: Before posting, please ask yourself the following question: "Am I making a post which is informative, or interesting or adds to thoughtful discussion on any level? If is a reply, does it offer any significant advice or help contribute to the conversation in any fashion?" If you can answer "yes" to this, then please post. If you cannot, then refrain from posting.
Low Content Posts: Please do not make single line posts containing no content (ie, "Thanks!" "Great Post" "Cool!", "I agree", or something else completely void of meaning). Or general cheerleading, for example, if you think someone did a good job and have nothing else to add send them a PM, it works better for this. We appreciate the thanks, but otherwise posts like these just litter up the forums. Remember, CFHC is not a Chat Room - it is a Niche topic-oriented site, so please attempt to stay 'on topic' by placing your posts in the proper Forum. Main page articles are usually focused on one particular topic, the other forums are open to use as well and are moderated less strictly.
