New Models after landfall.

The big thing that jumps out at you with the new model runs is the west jog after landfall. I think Brent mentioned it in another thread. This is totally different from the last several cyclones that have made landfall in the area.

Someone mentioned yesterday that a slowing hurricane would mean the more western track it would take. I think these models show that.

If you want to talk hyping a storm then listen to this - I work at a small refinery in LA around Baton Rouge. We actually received a call today from CNN to ask what we were doing to prepare for this storm and how will it affect the economy!! We have hurricane precautions but at this point we are just watching the forecasts until Saturday.

Having lived through the mass exodus from NO to Baton Rouge last year I am glad to see them have a 50 hour window for opening up the Interstates - that was a huge mess!!
