I caught a snippet from the Weather Channel yesterday about the possible re-emergence of Isaac in the Gulf with subsequent strengthening. Went to the NHC tropical outlook and there wasn’t a peep about this. And now here it is. Why, why, why? (and I want flying cars too)
This morning, it was a very large area of storms, but strictly offshore (which is good news for Southeast Louisiana and Southern Mississippi).
The Oil Industry has the real problem -- it takes a long time to evacuate the Gulf of Mexico, and if a storm pops out of nowhere, it is a real headache.
It can take 2+ hours to fly in by helicopter from the Gulf.
And that does not take into account the 2+ hours the helicopter must fly to reach a platform 200+ miles offshore.

3 day loop on the left side...maybe leftovers from Isaac energy just looking at it.
As I understand, not enough of Isaac left in this system to call it Isaac again. If it develops, would be Nadine.
