tacoman25 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Cat 2 potential still on the table with upgrade to Cat 1 imminent...those eager to call bust probably jumped the gun a bit. Possible...but as far as timing goes, lots of busts already out there with all the calls for Cat 1 that was supposed to have developed yesterday. No real signs of RI yet, so for this thing to get to Cat 2 before landfall will be tough. However, as long as very slow movements holds and especially if Isaac drifts more west and avoids complete landfall longer, I guess it's not off the table completely.

tacoman25 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I didnt know if this should be its own thread or not, but for down the road, how big a dent will this put in some of the drought stricken areas north of the coast? Should put a major dent in many areas, especially if the westward shift in recent models holds. Definitely too much at once for some places, but I don't think there's any doubt this storm will end up being very beneficial for many drought-plagued areas in the Midwest/MS Valley.

Brick Tamland Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Strange that the winds with isaac are not stronger with the pressure being so low. I think the story of this storm will be the size of it and how long it stays on the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Bobby Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Given the current radar presentation, I don't think Isaac is going to get any stronger than he is right now. It kind of reminds me of someone driving down the road on a flat tire, wobbling around and bits of rubber flying off. The interaction with land is affecting him, IMO. Only thing is, the wind speeds may pick up a bit more in reaction to the pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2010 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 This is going to be a long duration event. Many models even have it stronger 12 hours from now. Just the high tide cycles alone over the next couple days will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Not sure what would be a worse, a stronger hurricane with say 100 mph winds that comes on land quickly and quickly leaves, or one that is a minimal hurricane at 75 mph that sits right off the coast for a good while and is slow to move inland.

I've experienced both on the NC coast. The 2nd one was WAY worse. Nevermind the flooding (we didn't have any major flooding at my house but tons of places had incredible surge/freshwater flooding). Just the howling of a 50+mph wind for days gets to you. Additionally, things that wouldn't have fallen with a 100mph wind in a hurricane moving 15mph start toppling over in a 50mph wind after you've had 30" of rain. Also, places that would usually drain rain water well can't when there's a substantial storm surge so the fresh water has nowhere to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
