Great loop: Katrina in the Gulf of Mexico

#1 Postby MiamiensisWx » Wed Sep 20, 2006 8:16 pm

Just wanted to post this. Here is a rare and good loop of most of Katrina's life as a hurricane or tropical storm, including it just after it's first U.S. landfall in southeast Florida and it's entire path through the Gulf of Mexico to it's second landfall and several miles inland.

Just wanted to post this, as it's an intriguing loop find. Enjoy!

It's really impressive to see how she exploded on the 27th and morning of the 28th.

Great to see this image with the timeline attached. Was holding my breath as it clicked off the hours on the 29. I remember what I was doing during the day as the storm rolled ashore. Looks like a big Katrina fist just smacked the coast.

This one is nice b/c it is a WV loop if I am not mistaken. You can see the large upper anticylone build and Katrina just fit right in to it.

What a monster. I'll never forget the morning I awoke to a 175mph cat 5 on Sunday, the day before landfall. Then the landfall, the total devastation, human suffering, etc. Just a few days after landfall I was speaking with some friends telling them that our season wasn't close to being finished and I was worried about another storm threatening LA before the end of the season. Sure enough Rita comes along, not even a month later, even stronger, devastating more areas of Louisiana including near my own. I'll never forget the 2005 season, 2006 has been a blessing!!
