HURRICANE ISAAC Discussion Thread #16

How's everyone doing so far? I've been out a while these afternoon.

All I have to say is thank God Isaac didn't have this structure when he was in the southeast gulf.

Winds picking up in Lockport but grateful we still have lights.

Did anybody noticed the 12z euro? 959mb tomorrow morning? Who knows when yesterday we were questioning it when it was showing it was going to be 977 for today.
But, if it wasn't that the euro has had problems with intensity forecast most often than not, I would had bought it.
But I leave the benefict of doubt because the GFS also forecasts it to keep deepening until tomorrow morning by another 6 mb.

Did you see my WV loop comparison? We are very luck for dry air. Like NDG said, it just about followed him everywhere.

58mph gust at Lakefront:

Nothing more than our normal afternoon rain showers so far in Thibodaux. Still have power
