Correct, 971 is way too low. But it is so huge the winds cant catch up, but the core is trying to get smaller. Charley caught up in two hours with winds. And Humberto was a depression and went to 85 MPH in 14 hours. I dunno. Isaac has 10 hours before land over bather water.
The key is how slow Isaac is moving. 7 MPH???? WTF?
CORRECTION: When I said 'Landfall' I meant New Orleans with the center of the storm. I would think the storm will clip a piece of South LA in several hours. Immaterial.
970 MB. WOW.

8 hours until the eye hits just to the SW of New Orleans. New Orleans just got an 82 MPH burst.
About one full day of Hurricane / TS winds for New Orleans.
60,000 out of power in LA already. 9:30 / 10PM band is getting ready to crush New Orleans.
Storm is creeping
Heads up, follow these

I'm going to head south and keep on this west cloud band, amazing coloring.
Isaac stalled once again south of NOLA, eye is tracking due west right now, Eye should be hitting east of NOLA some time around 10pm CST, with main band slamming NOLA for 24+ hours.
See you around, and I'll listen to the archives.
Back over water after the 'landfall' which was a sandbar for radio crap.
5+ hours until landfall with humans.
"KMDJ reporting sustained 82 MPH, gusting 92 MPH. WDSU in New Orleans just lost commercial power and is now on generators." from a weather website.
968 pressure!!!!!
That's insane. Most storms with pressures that low are strong cat 2 or even cat 3 hurricanes.

Thing is just so big it cannot bring down the winds from the pressure. I mean half the storm peeled off to the Carolinas.That's insane. Most storms with pressures that low are strong cat 2 or even cat 3 hurricanes.
This is simply a huge rain event. It's going to unwind over New Orleans for a day. They are talking 20 inches of rain in a city that is 10 feet below sea level along with the surge.
They invested a ton in the pumps in the French Quarter after Katrina.
Take it for what it is worth, but Plaquemines (sic) is having water splashing over the levee. FWIW.
UNCONFIRMRED From Robbie Benson Fan from website:
We are hearing unconfirmed reports of water being 2 feet from the top of the levees at Port Sulphur.
CONFIRMED
President of Plaquemines Parish just confirmed on TWC that the storm surge up the Mississippi River is pushing 2 feet of water over top of the levees there.
Corp of Eningeer guy says the levee will hold.
The guy that panicked about the levee breach just came back on. He backed off his assertions of the breach after the Corp beat his face in and told his face to calm down. LOL.
Blogs saying 90mph
you should see the size of this mother... I changed my route from US-171 to LA-10, to cut close to the storm. Got west of Oakdale (~80mi from Baton Rouge) and I was near the west edge of the storm.That's insane. Most storms with pressures that low are strong cat 2 or even cat 3 hurricanes.
It has some nice arms, 0 rain on the west, nothing but high winds 20-30 mph.
Looks like the storm is nearly stationary now right off the coast. Probably won't strengthen much, but it won't really weaken either.

Pressure down to 966mb. It's sitting 70 miles south of New Orleans. Not moving much. The northwest side of the hurricane is over land and basically disappeared, but the eye is still over the water, so it's not going to weaken until the eye finally moves over land. Pretty unique hurricane. It got to the coast of Louisiana and just stopped in it's tracks. Just heard one of the levees was breached. 340,000 without power.

I enjoy the sheer power and natural stength of a hurricane. I have been in a few.
When you hear that Plaquemines Parish guy it brings things home. A couple of guys helping out trapped on a levee with radios/walkie talkies. Sad.
Almost 7 years to the day of getting fucked up from Katrina.
