It appears that the SE eyewall is passing very close to the Miami
doppler site.

I might be a whiz at this Google Earth stuff :wink: , but I'm not very good at discerning the center of circulation when it's over land. Which of the two pink circles is it: the area with no precipitation (top circle), or the roughly circular area of light blue precipitation (bottom circle)?

Edit: I'm thinking it's the bottom circle (a conclusion I came to before the two people below me posted :P ... but thanks guys.) Wow... Miami just missed a direct hit.

Bottom circle. You can see the precip wrapping around that area.

Yeah, I noticed when I refreshed the radar screen. That would put the center near 25.8 and 80.4, and hopefully what the NHC will say in their 9pm advisory if they want to be most accurate.

I am no expert but I thought I saw the same thing myself when they start showing the track on TWC just a while ago.

Katrina veered WSW at landfall.

Partial GFDL confirmation.

Storm was in Gulf Stream burst at landfall.

Could exit WSW through Everglades?

Center reported over Opalocka Airport Miami.

If Katrina did this 50 miles further east it would have hammered Miami...

looks like it could exit into the GOM much quicker on this WSW track....and not weaken as much since it will be over the Everglades...
