Katrina / Will76 Update. - GoFuckYourself.com

will76 · 08-28-2005, 12:29 AM

yes I am one of the ones that will very likely be affected. I am north of the city, so I am not forced to leave and I wont be affected by tidal surge but I will likely get damage to the house, lose electric for weeks and needless to say you will not be able to contact me for 2 - 3 weeks if this is a direct hit. I'll make it, rebuild if I have to and be back soon enough.

For those of you who are curious:

...Katrina strengthens to category four with 145 mph winds...
A Hurricane Warning is in effect for the north central Gulf Coast
from Morgan City Louisiana eastward to the Alabama/Florida
border...including the city of New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain.
A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected
within the warning area within the next 24 hours. Preparations to
protect life and property should be rushed to completion.

A Tropical Storm Warning and a Hurricane Watch are in effect from
east of the Alabama/Florida border to Destin Florida...and from
west of Morgan City to Intracoastal City Louisiana. A Tropical
Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected
within the warning area within the next 24 hours. A Hurricane Watch
means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch
area...generally within 36 hours.

For storm information specific to your area...including possible
inland watches and warnings...please monitor products issued
by your local weather office.

At 1 am CDT...0600z...the center of Hurricane Katrina was located
near latitude 25.1 north... longitude 86.8 west or about 310
miles... 500 km... south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi
River.

Katrina is moving toward the west-northwest near 8 mph. A gradual
turn toward the northwest is expected later today.

Reports from an Air Force reconnaissance aircraft indicate that
maximum sustained winds have increased and are now near 145
mph...with higher gusts. Katrina is a category four hurricane on
the Saffir-Simpson scale. Some additional strengthening is possible
today.

Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 70 miles...110 km...
from the center...and tropical storm force winds extend outward up
to 160 miles...260 km.

The minimum central pressure recently reported by the reconnaissance
aircraft was 935 mb...27.61 inches.
Coastal storm surge flooding of 15 to 20 feet above normal tide
levels...locally as high as 25 feet along with large and dangerous
battering waves...can be expected near and to the east of where the
center makes landfall.

Heavy rains from Katrina should begin to affect the central Gulf
Coast Sunday evening. Rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches...with
isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches...are possible along the path
of Katrina. The hurricane is still expected to produce additional
rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches over extreme western Cuba...and 1
to 3 inches of rainfall is expected over the Yucatan Peninsula.

Repeating the 1 am CDT position...25.1 N... 86.8 W. Movement
toward...west-northwest near 8 mph. Maximum sustained
winds...145 mph. Minimum central pressure... 935 mb.

Looks like New Orleans is going to be a swamp. No way that city can handle a direct hit from a major hurricane. They have been so lucky for years and years but this time may well be there time. Run while you can.

thats true, It has been 40 years, It is time that the city gets it;s turn.

100% chance that if this hurricane takes the forecasted track the entire city will be under 10 - 20 feet of water and over a million will be homeless and likely thousands will die.

If you look on a map i am north of the lake, way above sea level so no flooding here, but I will likely get winds over 130 mph which will suck ass bad.

for those of you who are interested you can track the storm here.

Hurricane Katrina is an extremely dangerous Category 5 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Maximum sustained winds are at 175 mph. Katrina continues not only grow stronger, but it continues to grow larger. Hurricane-force winds extend 90 miles from the center on the eastern side of Katrina, 75 miles to the northwest and 50 miles to the southwest. Sustained tropical storm force winds are not far from the Gulf Coast and should move in later this afternoon. Katrina has turned and is moving northwest at 13 mph with a turn to the north expected tonight.

Everyone along the northern Gulf of Mexico should be completing preparations for a major hurricane and take heed of evacutation orders. Hurricane warnings are up from Morgan City, La., to the Florida-Alabama border. This includes the city of New Orleans and Lake Pontchartrain. A tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch have been issued from the Alabama-Florida border eastward to Destin, Florida and from west of Morgan City to Intracoastal City, Louisiana.

A storm surge of 20 to 25 feet or more is possible along and to the east of Katrina's landfall point Monday. On top of the water rise, pounding waves of 20 to 40 feet will produce catastrophic damage at coastal locations.

Effects from Katrina will not be confined to coastal areas. Once Hurricane Katrina makes landfall, it will progress inland Monday into Tuesday with a trail of flooding rains and damaging winds across Mississippi and Alabama and then into Tennessee. Torrential, flooding rainfall is possible with the remnants of Katrina well inland, possibly into the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes and the Northeast later this week.
