NOAA Recon just finished a pass thru Lake Borgne, across the Rigolets and Lake Pontchartrain, across the causeway to Kenner and then back out again. Did not report surface winds but found plenty of flight level winds of 60+ mph. They flew higher than normal at 10K feet.

NOAA recon flights always fly at 10K feet, that is why I don't care for their reports so much.

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.

Hanging in there Scott, thanks! Still have power as you can see. Don't expect it to last much longer though.

I am watching and that amount of time over water could be problematic for sure.

Roz ya'll stay safe in beautiful dowtown Harahan. We have had some decent gusts and moderate rains here in Destrehan but the fun is just starting.

Thanks Barry. You and the family too. : ) Looks like many many hours of wind and rain ahead.

106 mph to be exact, but the anometer is 240+ feet above ground, these are the winds that could easily be experienced by the high rise buildings in downtown if Isaac follows the forecasted track.

This is not the G-IV which normal flies at 10K. They have been flying their missions into Isaac at 4,700K thus far.

I hope the people that stayed are safe.
