Western side of Katrina is falling apart

[SouthFloridawx]

you think it's better cause it weakens to 155 mph and a little dry air on the west side. Your gonna see that close up and don't concentrate on the s and w side cause the N and NE side is where the strongest winds are.... Those are currently coming onshore.

The FOX News radar also shows the amazing erosion of the west side.

Are you referring to New Orleans or Mobile? The past two hours have made the outlook better for New Orleans, and not much difference, if any, for Mobile.

What on earth is going on? Shear,dry air,Seeding? In if its number three don't they get they could harm us all by messing with the Atmosphere?

Well on it's current path it doesn't look good for any city in it's way.... now remember that....

Category Four Hurricane:
Winds 131-155 mph (114-135 kt or 210-249 km/hr). Storm surge generally 13-18 ft above normal. More extensive curtainwall failures with some complete roof structure failures on small residences. Shrubs, trees, and all signs are blown down. Complete destruction of mobile homes. Extensive damage to doors and windows. Low-lying escape routes may be cut by rising water 3-5 hours before arrival of the center of the hurricane. Major damage to lower floors of structures near the shore. Terrain lower than 10 ft above sea level may be flooded requiring massive evacuation of residential areas as far inland as 6 miles (10 km). Hurricane Charley of 2004 was a Category Four hurricane made landfall in Charlotte County, Florida with winds of 150 mph. Hurricane Dennis of 2005 struck the island of Cuba as a Category Four hurricane.

I know that. I'm talking relatively here.

It's 155 mph sustained, with ~190 mph gusts on top, and still the pressure of a 5, so not likely to go off the boil too much.

I don't see a reason for relief there.

why would they seed the hurricane? I thought they stopped doing it because they got a negative response.

Last couple of frames look like a jog or wobble to the east....is it possible she is pulled and the east jog (that i see) is continued

Watching Fox News, the northwestern side is starting to recover slightly on the radar.

someone made a post earlier in the thread about there being three eyewalls... forgetting the obsurtity of THREE eyewalls, if there are two, is Katrina going to go through an ERC?
