Admins, looks like you're getting saturated here. Just got a Mysql error: too many connections.

If land falls in eastern La as predicted, what kind of effect should the people in Pascogoula, MS and Mobile, AL expect?

I KNOW!!! Sheesh I'm floored. I just finished reading about the SHIPS latest intensity forecast (that was to 175kts!) within the last couple hours and I laughed.
Then there was the recon, and I was trying to calc in my head...so how fast is that at the surface?
But logically it follows: finally the winds have caught up with the pressure drops.

Coming up with a long post about all of that now....that area can expect tidal flooding & storm surge, high winds, and the potential for tornadoes and heavy rain as the storm makes landfall. Its effects are far-reaching and will not just be felt near where it makes landfall.

Steve is really staying in Metairie? He really needs to get the * out of there. As HF said...staying in coastal LA or MS is probably equivalent to a death sentence. But I guess you can't order everyone around...

Placed a new thread up, this one was getting corrupted from too many moves.

Well, once again, the other shoe drops. The same new wording we saw in the news at 9am this morning. Actually, I like the way they decided to do this. From the 10am discussion:
"Recalling that the average 24-hour
track forecast error is about 80 N mi...the actual landfall point
could still be anywhere from southeastern Louisiana to the
Mississippi coast. Also...we must continue to stress that the
hurricane is not just a point on the map...because destructive
winds...torrential rains...storm surge...and dangerous waves extend
well away from the eye. It is impossible to specify which County
or Parish will experience the worst weather."
What else could they do given the situation and forecasting limitations? conservatively will always stay with the previous forecast unless there is some specific rationale to change it. But here they are saying the forecast is only as good as it is, and for a storm like this, the forecast isn't really good enough - not anyone's fault.
So anyone anywhere near can expect they might possibly see the worst, not just NO now.
