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.
little over 100 mph am i right? or close to 100....
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.

After watching him spin around slowly offshore, Plaquemines parish is getting some really rough weather now for going on 8+ hours. I hope the people that stayed are safe.
HRD/AOML/NOAA (@hrd_AOML_NOAA) 8/28/12 3:42 PM #NOAA42 here, flying at 10,000 ft, heading west. We plan to circumnavigate Lake Ponchartrain as part of our flight pattern.

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.
