I can't stand watching these newscasts. For days we've been talking about the possibility of Isaac moving right to the coast and stalling while steering currents collapse. Bob is talking about this like it's something brand new.
Isaac will not do what the NHC forecast is calling for.
Hey, new here, but have been reading the forums for the last couple of days. Wanted to say thanks for all the information y'all have been giving.
Sky, I was watching Bob Breck and it sounds like he's saying Isaac may go south-ish? He also commented about Ponchatoula, which is where we are, and I was wondering, are we..basically, out of the woods here?

It looks like on radar he may have taken a little southwest jog, but no confirmation from recon. Recon has confirmed and the NHC has acknowledged it, that he has pushed west back over water.
For tonight, in Ponchatoula, I think we're ok as I do not think Isaac will move northwest as predicted. Now, if he moved west along the coast, and then north inland, that's when Ponchy would get the worst weather because then Ponchy would be in the northeast quad.
BTW, I live in Ponchy

Also the pressure is equal to a Cat 2 hurricane, the only reason the winds had not reach that level was the entraining of dry air prevent strong storm near the to allow the FLW to filter down to the surface. That is not happening any more so if stays over water winds could continue to increase without the pressure dropping.
