NHC FAILED TERREBONNE PARISH COASTAL RESIDENTS!!!!!

[audioslave8]

blah blah blah Can we please get this crap off of here. Let me say this and only one more time the NHC has done an outstanding job with the resources they have. If you wanna see more improvement on intensity and landfall then help the NHC get more funding. Max Mayfield will tell you the same thing. I give the NHC a very big thumbs up for what they have accomplished in the last 10 years. The cone they put out for error since then has tightened to almost perfect tracks on some Hurricanes so far. Instead of going back to the moon and spending billions of dollars on that mission. How about a mission to get things right here with these new bigger Hurricanes that we are going to have to deal with it seems for years down the road. The NHC can do it with the right amount of funding. They have some of the smartest people ever right now that are working in research and development. The NHC has not failed anyone!!!!!

THANK YOU!! Something needs to be done and soon . It seems that we are going to have to deal with alot of storms similar to Katrina down the road.

Well, if you dont like it, then help fix it, right? They need people who critizise them, then bring something to the table to help to try to fix it, not the other way around... So, if you dont like something, then donate and try to help fix it...

When Katrina hit Miami the strongest bands were in the southern eyewall and around 5-10 miles S of the center. This was verified by base velocity radar. The 71 kt winds were right over my house and I'm 5 miles SSE of the NHC. Winds speeds measured by radar fairly accurate.

Yes, doppler is pretty accurate; but it measures *at altitude*. The wind blowing over your roof is going to be slower. Doppler is probably measuring more than 10 meters up, so the reduction would be even greater than from the "reference surface" winds. The NHC's estimate of 80 mph 10 meters up over ocean is fully consistent with 75 10 meters up over land (more resistance) and 69 actually on the ground. I don't know exactly how high Doppler measurements come from but 79 mph is consistent with everything the NHC has reported, including sub-hurricane at ground level.

What, you want to spend money on saving lives and preventing damage? Wierdo.
They probably know just what to ask for and are asking for it, but I don't think their requests are public record (unfortunately), only the final Bush administration proposal. I don't think the NHC will get a cut in funding after this season- but you never know. What did Bush propose for this year?

This topic is about as lame as some of these posts I have read. Know your facts everyone. I am glad the NHC does not have people like this working for them.
