Just heard on the news that the Mars Deepwater Platform may have broken loose in the Gulf…

they were reporting that on Local Nola news.
Have not been able to confirm it yet

That Golden Meadow webcam should be in the inner eyewall momentarily.

Did you post a link in the webcams thread? I can't find it here.

And props to the police chief on the Grand Isle webcam feed. So calm and sensible in the midst of that mayhem. Hopefully people watching the Grand Isle destruction on the weather channel will get a sense of what they might be facing if they don't evacuate for the next storm

"Calm and sensible?!?!"

He just told the Weather Chan guy to "MAKE IT STOP."

The Chief didn't say, "make it stop," in the clip that I saw. If I heard that, obviously my post would have been different.

He actually did

too bad they didn't get the eye...by that i mean atleast they would have 20 minutes to maybe relocate

No place to relocate.

i mean, there could of been a more sturdy structure on the block somewhere or heck lol stay in the eye and follow it up Highway one

Not sure that's true.

It looks like a concrete structure, and the windows are bullet-proof, so the wind won't get inside that way.

Hubs said IF the roof is poured concrete, it won't peel off. They are up on stilts, of course, so easily 10-12 feet up, maybe higher. I guess if I had to stay, I would think that would be the best building to be in.

Morgerman is in Houma as well

Weak side but safe.

Based on all the data, I'm guessing it peaked at 1200Z at 135 kt with a pressure of 929 mb. As far as landfall, I would set it at 125 kt based on slight weakening on radar and Recon.

There's a pretty remarkable report of 130 kt sustained on an oil rig. It would be an elevated report, but it's extremely unlikely this observation captured the maximum surface winds within the storm.

That report is 35 m above the surface, but appeared to be in the eyewall and very representative of a category 4 hurricane.

Ok, Hurricanetrack. I'm a patron so have been following the live feeds. Thanks for the link.

Foggy eyewall on Golden Meadows cam now...

[StAuggy]

Severe storms studios chaser said their anemometer registered 200mph gusts with 156mph sustained!!

Source?

It’s one of these chasers… he was talking live with the readings. I can’t verify his credibility but that’s what he said.

They are now retracting the statement. It’s possibly true, but looking fishy which is a relief!

This is not true according to multiple sources on Facebook who monitor the rig.

uhoh...

thats not good. That means the pipe detached

Thankfully they have automated systems that slam that pipe closed.

Absolutely. Key consideration from that report is that it is almost virtually guaranteed to have missed the area of maximum winds due to undersampling. So the fact that it still reported 130 kt sustained is quite impressive.

Just retracted by the source, it is being reported on "social media" not able to confirms so they retracted

[ElectricStorm]

Haven't been able to check in in awhile. Hopefully everyone affected stays safe

[Michele B]

Morgerman is in Houma as well

I thought they said they were bugging out from there? Not safe?

This morning. ONE of the chasers did.

[StormPyrate]

Has there been a western jog last little bit? almost looks like it is crawling the coast on IR satellite

A friend of mine on a Saints forum I follow has a friend who works for Shell. He said it wasn't true.

edit- getting another report that says it has. Who knows yet?

[tolakram]

If that Golden Meadow camera survives I expect the surge to start coming in after the eyewall passes. Brutal at the moment.
