But last year's hurricanes were much stronger then this one. I would never want a hurricane threatening my town or a tropical storm, but if something happens with Katrina like bombing out, then it could be very bad.

Actually, the slow movement reminds me a bit more of Jerry95, than Erin95 or Labor Day 35.

I doubt Katrina will even be a hurricane at landfall or a hurricane in its life time. Even if it reaches hurricane status, the impacts won't be that great.


That's gotta be the prediction of the century.

What's to regret? The context of this discussion was how strong it would be into Florida. The GFDL was indicationg a Cat 3 into Key Largo.

I think most here thought there was a good chance of intensification to a major in the Gulf.

I very very very very very seriously doubt this will get anywhere close to that.

The Gulf is a different ballgame though.

Hehehehe! :lol:

WOW some people were DREADFULLY wrong... And ironically, some dreadfully right... I remember this thread when it was born... Someone saying "CAT FIVE!" and everyone else saying "SHUT UP!"

And look what happened.

Brings our forecasting and thoughts into perspective - i.e., it's a tough world out there in forecasting land . . . 8-)
