Jindal about to take questions. Anyone notice any difference between him and Blanco?
Huge difference. He is composed, on track and has everything in place. He is taking charge and has his act together. Ready to act and react to whatever situation arises.
I agree with others downplaying this - so Sky - you think "we" will get those winds? Wow.
OFFICIAL gust forecasts is 115mph. Yes, forecast intensity right now is Cat 1, but those gusts are Cat 3. If everything comes together like models are suggesting, especially the quick strengthening JUST before landfall, it will be a VERY nasty night tomorrow night.

My daughter just called me and her work, Whitney bank is not closing at all. WTH is wrong with them? Having employees out in 90 plus winds. Ridiculous!

Same in Galliano...hurricane conditions and likely an eyewall experience.
Not a dumb question. CDO = "Central Dense Overcast". It's that large blob of convection in a hurricane where the eye is located in its center.
That CDO is where the hurricane gusts will be and as you get closer to the eye is where sustained hurricane winds will be. If you get in the eyewall, that's where you'll experience the full fury of what ever he has to offer.

Zack Fradella: Yea, Lezak had a paper peer reviewed and published a year or so ago.

stormydds: Thanks for your response. I felt that is the case. that's too bad. Has there been any peer reviewed papers on the LRC hypothesis?
Nov 4, 2022 14:01:51 GMT -6
Zack Fradella: Not sure, the LRC is something that takes a lot of work to follow and keep up with. It's not as easy as looking at the parameters and making a forecast. This deters many from even giving it a chance. Also, there is some doubt from the weather world.

stormydds: Zack, a friend had a meeting in Lafayette which Rob Perillo spoke.He asked him why the LRC is not used to forecast hurricanes by NOAA.His answer was that Lezak won't share the info.I saw the podcast you and David made with Gary.He seemed open.What gives?

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Been unblocked. Dylan says that the station took major damage, so no idea when they'll even be able to stream again, or be on the air. Hopefully, they will at least let their employees deal with their own property issues!

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: According to another met on twitter, the kitten was rescued by a producer who's adopting it. Of course that hasn't stopped the angry mob, with torches and pitchforks, who are insisting that it's a lie.

nolachic: Pink - he's probably blocking people he doesn't personally know to keep his cell charged and to get his head straight, and I'm sure he is beyond exhausted.
Sept 29, 2022 9:23:35 GMT -6
SKYSUMMIT: I sent him a message yesterday as well, but he hasn't seen it.
Sept 29, 2022 5:46:06 GMT -6
PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Oh hell, I meant for that to be a message!
Sept 28, 2022 19:38:19 GMT -6
PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Dylan is taking a beating on Twitter. I just tried to send him a message of support, since we've been following each other for years, and HE BLOCKED ME!!!!!! Somebody who can get to him needs to do so, pronto!!! I'm very worried about him.
