Right now it's looking rather disorganized, but still pretty convective. Let's see what it can do down the line as it heads westward.

Does not look like much but then again I can't let my guard down with mother nature. Hurricane Wilma, Rita, and Katrina tough me that.

The three sisters.

Wilma, Katrina, and Rita were on a whole different level than this wave will ever be. IMO the 2005 season is in a class of its own.

Your so right with that! I will remember the 2005 hurricane season forever! It will be in my mind before I even die I bet.

I'm bored to I think 94E and the cape verde wave should be the ones to watch.

I am so bored I wish I could go back in time or somehow have saved Hurricane Wilma radar second by second and rewatch her develop so quickly.

LOL I remember Katrina was "the little TD 10 that could" that every one wrote off due to the SAL then Shear and dryair

she was pitiful looking http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3933 ... 00/Ten.jpg

Yes really because I went through Hurricane Katrina. I didn't stay but we had 2 feet of water in the house and feel like I was lucky because our friend had 9 feet of water in her house. It was horrible her house. I feel very lucky even though we still flooded some.

If the other side of the 17 street canal would of broke we would of had 9 feet as well I am sure.

We were very lucky.

I thought Katrina formed from TD12?

[wayoutfront]

well technically yes and no...It was renamed.

Its still somewhat debateable

Another reason I feel so lucky is because if Hurricane Katrina would of directly hit New Orleans we would of had water up to three stories high in a whole lot of places.

The whole city of N.O. and many other parts of Louisiana would of flooded.

The only thing you would of been able to see is the top of the tall building in New Orleans and some of the Super Dome.

It would look like the scene in A.I. with New York totally under water literally.


That is one hurricane that would top Hurricane Katrina whenever it ever happens.

The only way it can is it has to hit New Orleans directly as a Cat. 5




So most of New Orleans and many other areas in Louisiana would have 24 feet of water covering full two story and three story houses completely plus the first three floors of tall buildings.

Actually a direct hit of the strong side of a CAT 4 cane would be enough to top Katrina.

Not so sure about that. There are maps that predict water depths of a cat 5 hit. Your predictions are off-base.

Really ?

Wow now your scaring me even more ? Would the water still be 24 feet high in a lot of areas of southeast LA. with a Cat. 4 direct hit rather than a Cat. 5 ?

[Grease Monkey]

I don't how high the surge would be, but from what I understand is New orleans was hit by the weak side of Katrina as a CAT4, so it would only make sense to me that a direct hit from the strong side of a CAT4 would be worse then Katrina.

Yep.

Basically what we got is the least of the worst case if that even seems like much.

Its hard to believe that was the least worst case because even that is horrible but it makes you wonder how horrible it can get ?

The area north of the western end of Hispaniola is looking good this morning. The TWD seems to indicate its upper level. I think we should watch it. Go back 30 frames on high zoom.
