Btw, from the looks of it, the northeastern part of the eye should go right over NOLA later tonight.

Don't know if a landfall was ever officially called??? Center of the eye has to over land. System has found a niche off to the west in Barataria Bay--more water, energy to work with there.


Yes it was by the NHC.


I was joking guys. Just trying to lighten up a bad situation. Back to Issac the terrible.

Not gonna happen. At least not tonight. Assuming this storm ever gets going, if it does moves over New Orleans (still very iffy) could have more of a westerly motion, but anyway its not going anywhere anytime soon.

This is eerily close to the Pam scenario only a few categories lower.

From Twitter: @twc_hurricane DOW radars on 16ft levees near Port Sulphur report water is 2ft from top of levees - that's a 14ft storm surge. #isaac

I posted this earlier today but it really has legitimacy tonight. How long does it take a system like this to upwell the water beneath it enough to slow down any intensification?

Buoy just to west of center reporting 83 mph sustained and 95 mph gusts, I believe it is an oil rig not sure about height

That's a big if. It would need to start a NW to almost NNW track and pick up forward speed. Neither looks likely, imo.

You need a disclaimer on that. And so do I. :wink:

At the risk of stating the obvious--could have a bad situation developing over SE La Tonight--Tomorrow---and Thursday.

Observation-

I am really surprised that since 7 AM, we've only gotten 1.38" of rainfall. I really expected to see more. It is steadier now, so I expect to see more in the morning.

Power bleeps here now also with increased gusty winds, possibly 40-45 mph gusts.

According to recon, it's going the wrong way; it's actually losing some latitude

I know people have been saying that the longer it stalls off the coast, the more it can intensify but won't it also upwell cooler waters too if it stands over an area for too long?
