But residents of the Big Easy should disregard the quotes from the experts in this article at their own peril. I've visited there once, and looked at some maps and such while I was there. I'd be headed inland already.

Hurricane Camille hit this time last week. Possibly the most intense storm on record.

Repent? Of what?
To: NELSON111
It's already slowed down almost to a standstill the last I saw anyway.

Hi nelson,
What does the shear look like if it moves more north? Also I hope to God it doesn't moving into Texas and stall...that area is so soaked..Gilbert was down to 888 MB I Think...I remember it was supposed to turn more NW it never did...
To: NELSON111
I remember Gilbert (a September 1988 storm). I disagee, there were several troughs that entrenched into the northern gulf, that perplexed the experts. you are correct, Gilbert did not vary at all from its 290 path. What Gilbert showed was that some storms can get so massive that nothing can influence them. As was Andrew in 1992

Yes. That's what I thought. What do they mean hurricaine season is over???????????????????
To: newsperson999
Okay. The simulation shows that a hurricane tracking that direction has the perfect surge and wind pattern to blow the lake into downtown.

I've got "hurricane hype fatigue." Weather forecasters are always hyping every disturbance that ever forms within 1000 miles of the U.S. Only very rarely do these hurricanes ever do harm to the American mainland. I like to look past the hysteria and examine the facts. It is a rarity for a hurricane to have major impact this late in the season on U.S. shores. Yes, it does happen occasionally. Yes, we should keep an eye on this particular hurricane Isodore. But it is way too early to hit the panic button. Most likely, this hurricane will continue it's westward drift and never affect U.S. interests. If it does take that northward turn, it is days away and people along the Gulf coast will have plenty of time to prepare for it. It is pointless to discuss this hurricane hitting the U.S. at this time because absolutely nobody knows what it is going to do and the historical facts suggest that the U.S. will most likely not be affected by it anyhow.
Living in New England, I am especially cynical about weather forecasters. At least a dozen times a year, the local forecasters will breathlessly hype the next "northeaster" with 15-minute updates and whiz-bang graphics showing the utter havoc this coming winter storm may wreak upon the area, sending thousands of worried housewives into supermarkets to clear the shelves of milk and bread. Why milk and bread? I have no idea. But for some reason, people up here operate under the assumption that they must have mass quantities of milk and bread on hand during winter storms.
Most of the time, the much talked about snowstorm heads out to sea or takes an inland track, switching the snow over to rain. But even when we get hit hard, everybody is plowed and shovelled out again within 24 hours.
In my nearly 40 years of living in New England, I only remember ONE storm that truly shut the area down for more than a day. That was the blizzard of 1978. And ironically the forecasters totally missed that one until it was virtually on top of us.

hey kansas...thanks for that link to the radar, great pic. Can see a concentric eye wall pattern which seems to show why winds havent increased yet. the outer one should replace the inner one and contract during a strenghtening cycle.

Sam Adams,
I agree with alot of what you say concering they hype....and Im more interested in looking at/discussing the storm as it is now, regardless with where it ends up.
the biggest problem i have with your argument is your basing this on the time of year...

NEW MADRID--WHAT'S IN A NAME?
EARTH CHANGES APPROACHING
The following is mentioned on both of those threads:
October 30, 1991: The Perfect Storm—As President George H. W. Bush is opening the Madrid (Spain) Conference to consider “land for peace” in Israel’s Middle East role, the “perfect storm” develops in the North Atlantic, creating the largest waves ever recorded in that region. The storm travels 1000 miles from “east to west” instead of the normal “west to east” pattern and crashes into the New England Coast. Thirty-five foot waves crash into the Kennebunkport home of President Bush.

Hey kansas what is that link for the radar you just posted?(won't load on the long FR thread on my computer)

"People were found drowned in their attics after Hurricane Betsy, because places went from having no water to having 20 feet of water in 15 minutes," Krieger said That's a sobering thought. I guess they're not so "slow-moving" once all hell breaks loose.
We were flooded up to out rainpipes along the roof by hurricane Agnus in New York. It wasn't the hurricane that got us, but a damn broke way up river from all the rain, and the river banks were breaking all over the state. Big mess, it was.
Even though the hurricane doesn't hit you, it's effects still could.
