Now the Euro has shifted northward, it was aiming towards TX/MX.

I have work in Hattiesburg next weekend. Do you think I will be affected?

If this system even makes it this way, it'll be done well before then. If anything you'll have the normal summertime storms.

When is Houston going to get hit by this Cat 5 monster?

NHC upped the chance of development for 91L. Was 20% (yellow) this morning.

4. Katrina (2005) - 60 miles to the west and BR would have been destroyed by strong Cat 3 wind gusts
5. Rita (2005) - Lots of rain, some wind
Not sure why people still downplay Rita like it's a competition between the two.
Rita was a stronger hurricane than Katrina yet because SWLA and SETX didn't have levees that failed people have to downplay what a monster it was.
quote:
Katrina attained Category 5 status on the morning of August 28 and reached its peak strength at 1800 UTC that day, with maximum sustained winds of 175 mph (280 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 902 mbar (26.6 inHg). The pressure measurement made Katrina the fourth most intense Atlantic hurricane on record at the time, only to be surpassed by Hurricanes Rita and Wilma later in the season; it was also the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico at the time. However, this record was later broken by Hurricane Rita.
Both were tragedies and two of the strongest hurricanes ever so it's lame as hell to downplay either one as "some wind"

... and Gustav hit BR with strong Cat 2 winds and Cat 3 gusts .. Last I checked, we weren't "destroyed" .. Rita was one of the strongest storms ever in the Atlantic Basin .. It was all about the area it hit versus Katrina in more ways than one ..

the storm that amazed me was the one that hit Galveston not long ago. Cat 2 but it was massive and did tons of damage.

You should have lived in Sherwood Forest...it was destroyed...
Couldn't even get out of my street for the first week because of a downed power line and a huge pine tree

Yea we were sort of lucky it went up the Sabine pass and didn't directly hit a more populated area. Seeing how it wiped out Cameron makes you realize things could have been a lot worse.

I believe they both made landfall at about the same strength as well.

That's the statement you chose to use in reference to Katrina?Posted on 6/13/15 at 2:16 pm to stout
It still did more damage than Audrey .. Which hit farther east .. The storm surge in Vermilion was awful ..

Get your panties out of a wad and stop RAing. If you want to make predictions you have to expect people to disagree with you.

Disagreeing is normal, GTG and RAG showing up constantly to flame isn't.

4. DO NOT engage in personal attacks on other users. Healthy debate is expected and encouraged, but take the childish insults elsewhere. This is particularly true with regard to visitors from other schools. Moderators will be especially watchful for verbal abuse, ridicule, ad hominem attacks, and stalking.
