Unfortunately, there have been reports that this may be in progress already... which would be completed prior to landfall.

It's physically impossible for Katrina to complete an eyewall replacement cycle before landfall. It's not nearly enough time. Like I said before, for reasons mysterious to me people have this incredibly wrong notion of how long it takes for an eyewall replacement; it's on the order of 18 hours.

Did you hear the officer in the eye of the storm as he spoke to heraldo? He anticipated a beneficial scenerio in the timing of a wall-restructure. Does that make any sense to you? (I know nothing!)
