Ginx snewx Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 He got hit with the worst Quadrant in a Cat I. That's how they are. Ask the folks in MS what a Cat III in that area is like. NW quad is worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Which Parish? the same parish where the mississippi was splashing over the levee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 NW quad is worse? Grand Isle has been in the northwest eyewall all evening, I would imagine the damage and surge would be much more impressive in se la at first light, the fact the water was waist high with an offshore wind is impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 NW quad is worse? It was moving more WNW-NW and that put the nrn and ne area right in the worst spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Billy Nungesser: "Water is coming through my wall sockets and my roof is leaking everywhere, just like Katrina. One interior wall in my house has moved 6 inches and is groaning. This seems like a lot worse than a Cat 1 hurricane." He is Plaquemines Parrish President. His roof is now in the GOM I don't think I would like living in Bayou Country! Amazing the size of the environment this storm encompasses. WOW it's simple humongous.

Thanks, I suspect as this contracted some of those flight level winds were transported down to the surface in those heavy convective bursts. Reading locals reports from outside NO saying its real bad is not to be ignored. Those folks have been through a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading locals reports from outside NO saying its real bad is not to be ignored. Those folks have been through a lot. Well that parish was in the worst quadrant in a slowly strengthening storm, so that's going to happen. I think people forget a Cat I is still dam powerful. As far as the structures go....that depends on the age of the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Torchey Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 i would like to say he is in a great spot to observe, But its the worst spot weather wise....... He needs to be careful as the cyclone passes to his south and the winds turn out of the southeast, the surge will come in quickly as its all marsh and bayou.

CT Rain Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Well it's gusting to 67 at KNEW and it's snowing!!! http://www.srh.noaa....story/KNEW.html I can't believe the KFS didn't have that lol. The tighter the eye gets the better for New Orleans. The radius of max winds is shrinking and the W or even just S of W drift will keep winds easterly and prevent things from going too crazy in the city. A mid range TS it looks like for the most part. The good news is that the area this thing is going to move over is sparsely populated. If we were to see continued intensification and a legit stall (like 12 hours or so) we'd have a significant surge issue... but at this point we're dealing with truly sparsely populated areas at risk for big surge IMO.

We shall see how it plays out, as you well know the surge from Irene was much worse well displaced from the actual center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
