As far as the media and the general population goes this one is really going under the radar so to speak. So many hurricane watches for NO this season and so much coverage of Gulf Storms. Like Covid, people kind of just let their guard down. Many people are just saying (as of last night) it's just a Cat 1. However...
A strengthening storm always seems to over achieve. Katrina was weakening and slid east of NO. NO metro 1.2 million people!
This storm is hauling ass unlike many earlier season tropical systems. It's not going to lose much punch
The eyewall could go right over NO. Highest destructive wind is just in the eyewall.
I think this storm will be by far the most destructive of this season. Not often do you see a strong Cat 2 going over a major metro area of this size. When was the last one?? Lots of population just east of NO too like Gulfport which will be on the strong east side
What are some good webcams to watch?
