Hey folks. I will admit that understanding cyclonic events is way out of my field, but I would appreciate it and I sure people in the affected areas would appreciate it if people REFRAIN from making unqualified statements at this time now. People need REAL INFO from the PEOPLE WHO KNOW THIS BEST. The rest of us need to STAND DOWN NOW. I'm serious.

Yep, its making a beeline for New Orleans. If it misses its not going to be by much. I fear the worst case scenario is playing out.

I said it yesterday and I will say it again. If you are within 50 miles of the forecast track, leave! You cannot afford to get this one wrong.

[storms in NC]

the farther west it going will put NOLA on the east side

[gk1]

55 miles SW of N.O.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

It is now one of those hurricanes that like to hold there own if not get stronger. People this thing is moving west-northwest with a few jogs to the northwest. This will likely cross at the least 89.5. In if the ridge is event he slightest bit stronger then New orleans will get the eye. Thats my thinking.

[sponger]

Cutting it close gk1. What are your plans?

Well this is the amateur board and the Forcast Analysis board is the professionals so lay off others when they are on here. As for the job, again, all major hurricanes wobble around a bit.

BS! This is not some TS or CAT 1, 2, 3 'cane. Us amateurs shoud be asking questions and trying to learn...not making statements like "bye bye pcola"

And judging from the fact that the moderators removed 'wannabe's' original remarks, no more needs to be said.

[Opal storm]

Katrina is so strong that trough is going to have a hard time pulling it due north.But,Katrina has without a doubt been moving much more northernly today so the trough is obviously having some affects on it.

[Wannabewxman79]

Well I guess I can't take up for someone but someone else can be berated. At least I added some insight on the topic the others did not.
