Uncle Bobby Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Wow, did the guy on TWC really just say the eye may be about 20 miles NW of its present position at 4PM tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolai Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 We have way too many threads for one storm, separating damage reports from the forecasting is complete overkill, the 2 are intertwined. agreed, this is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minnesota Meso Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This is becoming very interesting, as we go through the night I expected this system will have very little movement and what ever there is (say 6-10mph to the west) will only make things worse. The eye looks to stay over water and that will cause the feeder bands and associated H force winds to impact the NE and N quadrants. As the bands work over to the western to south western side of the storm they will be over water that was not worked over by the previous band so therefore they rotate around the eye and dump more and more rain with H force winds on the NE and N quads.

Uncle Bobby Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 For anyone not watching TWC: Water is splashing over the Mississippi levees, causing concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesota Meso Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Someone let me know when this storm actually does something.....should be renamed Hurricane Prozaac. Look at my post just a few under yours, you don't have to have a Cat 3-4 to case catastrophic damage, you just need the right set up, and this appears to have it. My best guess is when every thing is said and done, the name Isaac will be retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 If you compare the radar shot right now of Isaac with Katrina's landfall over Buras, LA, it's actually kind of funny. An unraveling former Category 5 doesn't look that much better than a sprawling Category 1 trying to consolidate an eyewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have only been reading, but I will add my voice that having a dozen different threads to follow for one storm is insane. This is a live event. You allow that to happen organically in one, maybe two threads at most. That is frankly the most authentic way to do it, not force folks to wade through five different threads for every conceivable topic with the storm. I bet the image issue is about bandwidth, but most people have high speed internet in this day and age. Those on 56K need to get satellite or something and get with the times.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Yet another instance where a broad disorganized system tightens up as it interacts with land. If this thing had run over more land south of Florida I think it would have been a much different story. Impressive sat and radar tonight, not good.

Busick Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I agree with some posters on here, because you dont have to have a cat. 4,5 Hurricane to do serious damage and flooding. This Hurricane is moving very slow on the left side of New Orleans and is going to produce flooding rains all night. Look what tropical storm Alison did to Houston. I think people will be surprised torrommow......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It sure sounds like they are much better prepared. Fresh water flooding might be an issue of course as to be expected if you get 20 inches of rain. The surge thus far looks decent but not catastrophic. There's gotta be a fairly sizeable difference despite it being a large system. The levees breeched when the wind went north off of the lake on the backside of the storm...that doesn't look to happen this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Protection Program Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 According to ACME topo maps, Port Sulphur has an elevation 13' levee along the Mississippi. I would expect the wave action of 10' surge to produce a good bit of overlap, not the same as overtopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 So it's 11pm. Have there been any sustained hurricane force winds anywhere on land near/at sea level? I see a few hurricane gusts (Galliano) and Boothville is close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
