Both the IR sat and visible are showing very little (if any) movement in the last hour...I think that we should have a good idea of its NW direction by tonight, but never forget about the right hook these things do at the coast...Opal, Erin, , and all went between 30-50 miles east of track in the last couple of hours..and if it gets as big and strong as forcasted, it may be able to go anywhere it wants...I like them better when they are moving at a fast clip like did...

I will being Praying for anyone in the path of this bad girl. I am on the west coast of fl in alittle town called Crystal River that is sub sea level and cat 2 would swamp us for sure.

joe's said the last 3 canes would bury new orleans, so 1 in 4 does not make his predictions that trustworthy. Now, when the says a possible 5, then I start driving west.

You had to say that, didn't you?

KATRINA SHOULD STRENGTHEN AS IT COMES OUT OF THE CONCENTRIC EYEWALL
CYCLE. THE IS NOW CALLING FOR A PEAK INTENSITY OF 131 KT...
WHILE THE SHIPS MODEL IS CALLING FOR 130 KT AND THE
SUPERENSEMBLE 128 KT. THE INTENSITY FORECAST WILL CALL FOR
STRENGTHENING TO 125 KT AT LANDFALL...AND THERE REMAINS A CHANCE
THAT COULD BECOME A CATEGORY FIVE HURRICANE BEFORE
LANDFALL. THERE REMAINS THE POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER CONCENTRIC
EYEWALL CYCLE BEFORE LANDFALL...WHICH COULD THROW OFF THE INTENSITY
FORECAST A BIT.

I think the lack of movement can be confirmed in that the eye is still visible on Key West radar, Though the presentation is poor and telling a direction of movement not accurate, you can still see both sides of the circulation..if the west movement had continued in the last hour, thr west eyewall would be out of range, but it continues to be visible and stationary, I feel confirming the IR and Vis sats. I know that systems do these temp stalls, but movement has been consistent up until now...Any thoughts?
