Roy Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Is The Weather Channel down for anybody else? The way it's down makes it look like it is a network issue and not the cable since I get a green screen with TWC graphics at the bottom of the screen but nothing else. Just cut out 10 minutes ago.

HailMan06 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think Issac illustrates the long term problem se Louisiana is facing. The Mississippi delta is being steadily eroded due to the levees preventing sediment from replenishing the land. Additionally sea level rise is compounding the effects of the land subsiding. These two factors are causing the tidal marshes to disappear. As a result there will be less of a "buffer" between NO and the Gulf with associated storm surges and waves. Edit: I moved this post to the banter thread since I felt this was a better place to post this in. I was going to delete my other post but it was deleted.

feloniousq Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Seems like NHC is thinking people don't have computers and two eyes. The disregard for common sense with this storm has been embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macintosh Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Seems like NHC is thinking people don't have computers and two eyes. The disregard for common sense with this storm has been embarrassing. WWL just had a 3 minute interview with an infobabe at the 17th St. Canal who literally repeated "people are staying in their homes during this heavy rain and wind" and variations of that wording. Try saying "it's raining and windy" for 3 minutes straight. What's the point? Television has become an absolute joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailstorm Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I wonder why the NHC did not upgrade winds to 85-90 MPH for the 11 PM or 1 AM advisory. We had a SMFR of 79 knots, along with FL winds of 96 knots and 6,000-feet radar velocities of 105 knots to support it. Is it because there are no real observations of recording such wind speeds? Or do we need multiple SMFR readings to confirm it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lizard Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 May be an illusion but it sure looks like that eye moved southEast a tad. Perhaps the stall/wobble is the beginning of the forecast N or NW movement into SE Lousiana. Hotlink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witness Protection Program Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 FWIW, yesterday Dr. Neil Frank, former head of NHC who now guests on a Houston TV station, said that it was still possible Isaac would head west and that Houston wasn't yet out of the woods. A few hours ago he said point blank that it indeed looked to be moving west and that he thinks it will hug the coast for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
