130mph, she wasn't over LA for long so she probably didn't weaken much.

135 at LA landfall then 120 mph at ms landfall. There was still enough of the inner eye wall for it to be a cat4 at first landfall. Also it was a cat5 not long before that so...

I'm still sticking with what I put in the first poll... 140 area at Buras, 130 area at Miss.

140 - same as my Louisiana landfall estimate. I went into the inland data and worked backwards, and that is how I estimated it. I don't think Katrina weakened at all between landfalls.
