ATL: ISAAC - Post-Tropical - Discussion

[EBrads146]

Comparison between today and roughly this time yesterday...

Yesterday:


Today:


It's really quite incredible. Many (including myself) started to write this one off, and BAM. It goes roughly as the NHC has been predicting. Props to them for proving once again why they're the best.

To everyone in Isaac's path: stay safe.

:lol: I'm new here, but I think it's cuz it's not hitting texas... YET!

Was lafitte under an evac?

All of JP outside the hurricane protection system. Includes Lafitte, Barataria, Grand Isle and Crown Point.

appears to have stalled... have to wait for recon to confirm...

Gusts and bands are coming more frequently here in my section of NOLA now. Looking for a break to run a bag of trash out to the garage...LOL.

Local news coverage was showing live footage of the NOLA Lakefront a moment ago (I'm about two miles max south of the Lakefront) and it appeared that Lake Pontchartrain is now over the seawall and covering the recreation area between the Lake and the hurricane protection levee. Camera didn't face the levee, so I couldn't tell how high up the levee the water is so far.

Heaviest wind gusts so far just now...roaring through the pecan tree in the backyard. Which is my biggest worry this time...brittle pecan tree snapping and crushing part of house or, less drastically, the garage on the other side of the tree.

It seems to be moving some:

Maybe mine is just stuck, but that image at 15:45 has been there for hours.

biloxi was very uneventful fairly light winds. heading to NOLA to catch that band about to come through.

The latest imagery on that site is at 1545 UTC or 10:45 AM CDT. It's slowed its progression since that time.

Isaac does not appear to be making much progress:

That's a 40 minute loop, you won't see much in 40 minutes.

That is a derived product and not a good way to predict movement. Local New Orleans radar is going to be telling us what the storm is doing.

Thus far I have viewed MIMIC, Radar loops and satellite loops and although I agree it has slowed down, appears to be moving right along the forecast point and perhaps even a touch east of the forecast points. No reason IMHO to believe this thing will indeed stall at all until it is already 30-100 miles inland in SELA. The NHC didn't budge the track because the storm is this close and at this pivotal juncture there appears to be no reason to buy into inaccurate or perhaps off model runs and my evidence to that claim is just about any satellite imagery that you can use to view Isaac. I have absolutely little doubt that RECON will confirm motion dead on or about a touch east of the NHC track.

radar is showing what appears to be a outer eyewall looking feature developing. almost has convection convection in all quads for the first. lol

[wkwally]

not good if it is stalling as it will give it more chance to be stronger

You should have come to Pensacola first them moved to NOLA later, as the waves and wind are pretty impressive out on the beach.

[ozonepete]

Wow, check out these readings. This surface obs from RAP shows station KMIS with SE winds of 70 knots gusting to 85 knots at 2116. The NWS ASOS surface obs from 2055 shows SE at 79 mph gusting to 98mph. Whoa!

[jlauderdal]

Pretty symetrical looking now.

nice radar presentation

I did stopped at navrro beach and took video of the surge flooding there.

[Blinhart]

TWC just stated they are witnessing something they have never seen before, an inner eye trying to former inside an outer eye. They have no idea what to make of that.

[wkwally]

can sure tell this is getting close to landfall with all of those in here

1 min live flash loop, for those who haven't seen it.
