CT Rain Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 slow movement of this thing is going to turn a somewhat "meh" storm into a serious problem.

CoastalWx Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 LOL you guys downplay everything. Not at all, the flooding will be serious in LA. I think NOLA will be ok though, but it's not a lock with all that rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I would think there may start to be some serious concerns with breached levees here with all that rainfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they were made to withstand what they are dealing with from what I gather. The rain does complicate things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Anyway, me thinks we have a stall. 840 last night, NHC finally acknowledged at 4 this morning it had stalled after saying it was moving NW at 7 MPH. IMHO it has stalled again, they say its moving NW at 7 AFTER REMAINING QUASI-STATIONARY FOR SEVERAL HOURS...AIRCRAFT AND RADAR DATA INDICATE THAT THE CENTER OF ISAAC MADE A SECOND LANDFALL NEAR PORT FOURCHON LOUISIANA THE INITIAL MOTION IS AN UNCERTAIN 300/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROOSTA Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Don't even start speculating on the possible damage. One pump fails, a levee is breeched in the right (wrong) location all goes right out the window. This doesn't need any hype or downplaying it's unfolding. If this was in an area with more personal interest I thing the tone of comments would be entirely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they were made to withstand what they are dealing with from what I gather. The rain does complicate things. That's a lot of water that will get dumped into the Mississippi from all the rainfall from Isaac as it moves north and rains over Arkansas and Missouri which will eventually have to exit the gulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Up to 12 feet of water in home in Plaq Parish.........meh. I don't think that's surprising, however. The levees there are the same as they were pre-Katrina. The storm's slow motion and impressive wind field would result in serious storm surge. If you look at Plaquemines Parish on a map it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that it flooded! Yes there will be serious flood damage in vulnerable areas but not something that was unexpected. A catastrophe is not in the making though of course if you're house is flooded than it is a catastrophe. We won't see "unrivaled" damage and we really won't see anything remotely close to Katrina. The new levees around New Orleans and the existing levees on the other side of Ponch are holding. In addition MRGO appears OK as well. From that I can tell outside of Grand Isle (which had serious wind damage... not surprising with sustained hurricane for hours) and Plaquemines parish things are going very well.

Mr Torchey Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Reports of serious flooding now coming in from all over se la, still a long long long ways to go, some very impressive wind reports as well. The unique nature of this storm, where it finally strengthened and its stall alone is fascinating enough. Over half a million without power.

I think people get lulled into a false sense of security about the damage potential from a legit cat 1. Many are used to weakening/decaying cat 1s that have a small area of hurricane force winds. Put sustained 75-80 mph winds over any area for a couple hours and you're asking for trouble. New Orleans certainly missed out the core of strongest winds as we mentioned last night and thankfully haven't come close to hurricane force sustained.
