haiti really knocked the shit outta it and it stalled over it.....but its starting to blow up again tonight looks like....we'll see if it takes on jamaica at all or not next
chances of another direct hit on NO slim
but good chance of a cane in the gulf
plus so far its a tiny cane as far as size
katrina was a monstrosity and reason it had so much wake with it
the smaller they get the more of a wind/localized event they get
they category system is retarded....strength of cane more accurately portrayed by its pressure

there's a nother one behind it now too...hanna
but probably too far north to threaten land if it does carolina's or something like that in its future.....or maybe its one of those upper east coast canes that never come.....
gustav looks healthy again and getting bigger.....but about to hit jamaica moving at a faster pace and probably won't stall over land like he did with haiti
gets interesting once it gets past jamaica

when you build a city in a bowl below sea level bad things tend to happen when a monster hurricane hits you regardless of how well you think you can protect yourself with levees and what not
that said its an important city for its port reason we have a big city there to begin with really dunno what the long term solution is

Doesn't the warm water in the Gulf juice it back up?
water warmer down where it is now than in gulf
plus water isn't in pure high octane shit like it was in 2006 i mean its still warm but not what it was
cat 3 at worst outta this guy me thinks
land interaction keeps chewing it up once it starts to get going for now
once it gets past jamaica will get a better idea of things than.....

here's a current SST map
http://www.osdpd.noaa.gov/PSB/EPS/SST/data/gulfmex.cf.gif
gulf was completely yellow and orange in 2006
katrina was just perfect conditions for a monster
looks like it would likely fizzle as it approached land if it hit east of NO probably best case scenerio for right now
west of NO looks like worst track as far as doing damage....plus the NE quadrant of the storm is the strongest so current track seen above on post #1 worst possible track for NO than say a direct hit

starting to move slow now down to 5mph and right smack dab in the middle of jamaica that has alot of mountains but not as bad as hispanola (haiti)
gonna be ripped up pretty good....by friday night or saturday will get a better idea of track and intensity projections....

I agree that if FEMA tells Nagin not to use the city school buses and that they will provide buses instead, he should not trust them and not take them at their word. If he does, there will probably be a lot of hacks trying to politicize the situation while those truly responsible will keep saying "we're not playing the blame game".
its just like it always is
a big one hits (they had camille hit that area back in 69) and than everybody overly freaks out on the near term
like now when there is a tropical storm hitting jamaica
than people get sick and tired of all the false alarms
get complacent
and the next big one hits
usually how it works with canes

as fey showed you in florida
the small big time cat 5 hurricanes really aren't that dangerous as a whole....they get all the hype but are very localized wind events and typically are moving at a rapid clip......
big canes that bring a big wake and lotsa rain kills and does big damage on a large scale
our category system really needs an overhaul
i was freaking out days before katrina hit as it bombed out as a HUMONGOUS cat 5 in the gulf with near 900 mb central pressure.....and unfortunately my outlook turned out correct
for right now no major worries for NO and everybody freaking out this time.....
