She became a hurricane on advisory number nine and still expected to only top out at 80 mph, while spending only 7 hours over land. It only took 3 advisories after Katrina re-emerged in the eastern gulf for the wording to start to become ominous and official forecasting of a major hurricane.
If this one stays on the southern side of the track it will hit that little spot that Katrina blew up in. I know it was pretty hot when Laura came through but she missed it to the west.
