Right On Track?

#1 Postby mvtrucking » Sat Aug 27, 2005 7:10 pm

It seems the NHC called this bend to the WNW almost exact. The storm looks af if its following the forecast points right on que.

7pm:
AT 7 PM CDT...0000Z...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE KATRINA WAS LOCATED
NEAR LATITUDE 24.8 NORTH...LONGITUDE 85.9 WEST OR ABOUT 360 MILES
SOUTHEAST OF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

KATRINA HAS BEGUN TO MOVE TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST NEAR 7 MPH.
THIS GENERAL MOTION SHOULD CONTINUE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY

Yeah... after 2 days of going south of the track or some other weird thing, it seems we finally have the landfall nailed down, very unfortunately.

I am not getting the box to click forecast points. Is there something I need to do when I pull it up? Thanks for any responses. Debbie

That happened to me once too. I just reloaded it and the option appeared.

Also, it does look to be somewhat north of the forecast points, but must be just an illusion.
