Lili was also not weakened by Isidore. In fatc, Lili reached peak intensity over Isidore's cold wake. Lili became severely sheared in the 12 hours prior to its landfall

as far as lili and isidore go, i will disagree with others here... the water temps were in the 80's before isidore moved through.... isidore made a move almost due north off the yucatan into louisiana... also, isidore was intensifying at the time...when lili came through, the water temps had dropped to about 77-78 degrees right in the path of lili... i know this as a fact as i was watching this closely because mark sudduth was there in louisiana and i had just returned from our isidore mission... i was helping out with the water temps, and other factors for him as he was receiving calls from NWS friends in NC asking him to leave due to the danger... when we saw the buoy temps were down that much, not to mention shear was going to move in, and flatten the western side, he decided to stay... jmo,
