But on the bright side, it is rapidly weakening on approach to landfall in New Orleans and goes up to 926!

Of course it would be 926 at NO, it has travelled on land for a few hours.

But land eerily similar to the marshland of southern Florida, and we all know how much she weakened over that area.

I think the weakening indicated would be due to some shear that is forecast to show up around landfall time.

Sometimes the GFDL goes crazy with intensity, but all the ingrediants seem to be there. Hopefully the trend of late will continue where strong storms have repidly weakened prior to landfall on the Central Gulf Coast.

And Grand Isle has only recommended evacs. I sure hope those people all around that area don't wait for the call and jsut get out of there now. I will never see Grand Isle again if that track verifies or any of my other fishing sites!!!
