One thing is certain, the folks down in the SE bayous below NOLA are getting it rough now.

[CYCLONE MIKE]

Definite eye forming now. Norcross said on TWC that it is wobbling right now but expect wnw/nw movement to occur and this to slow way down and make landfall tomorrow morning right around Grand Isle. So if that happens plenty more time over water.

Looks like an eyewall forming now? moving NW towards the coast from what I can tell..

[WeatherGuesser]

and make landfall tomorrow morning right around Grand Isle.

It should make landfall almost any time now, within another hour or so. You can see from the various radar images how close it is.

[CYCLONE MIKE]

Just relayng what he said. He just now mentioned it again.

Giant 60 frame loop, worth watching but beware load times.

Making landfall now?

No, the center is still offshore. The outer ring is not the center of circulation.

Does anyone think it will make landfall in about 3-6 hours? It is very near to the coast now, probably less than 100 miles away.

Small center now looks just a tad to the right of the forecast point, as pointed out by WWL met on TV Carl A showing the latest radar loop....

How far outside the center is the wind swath? I haven't seen anything recently reflecting those figures.

This has been the most boring hurricane ever. We've barely had any wind or rain and I live in Biloxi right next to Keesler. I don't think I've seen a gust over 30 and no sustained wind to speak of. I think inland areas are getting the worst of it.

The new inner eye seemed to jogged N.NE last frames

NOAA Recon found pressure of 973.8 mbs

[ozonepete]

(The HRD analysis from WxGuy) That's another reason why KBVE (Boothville/Venice) hasn't gotten higher yet. Should come though...

Thanks! That's a pretty big area to his east with 70+ gusts.

Just had a quick moving little tornado here just to the east of Pensacola. Lights flickered...but hung on. Nasty wind and rain with this band over the Fla panhandle.

Oh yeah. Within a few hours at most.

Look to me more like about 10 or 15 miles.

Maybe people have different ideas about what qualifies as land?
