Question: I have been in Louisiana through a lot of hurricanes. Besty, Andrew and Gustav eyes all passed over my house, although Betsy was actually my parents' house. Those storms were bad. But here, I keep hearing about 75 and 80 mph sustained winds but when the TV shows the locations and the wind measurements, everyone seems to be showing sustained winds far lower than the NHC is calling. Why is that? Seems like it was the opposite for Gustav and Andrew, where weather people seemed to say the winds were less than the local gages showned. I kept hearing Gustav was only about 60 but here, it was worse than Betsy and only outdone by Andrew.

Sorry I can't stay here to discuss, but power is out at home as is the internet. I came into the office to check on the place and checked the internet while I was here. Need to get back home before it gets worse. I will look for answers on my cell phone. Thanks.

Truck drivers were calling in to WWL last night wondering WTF was up with the hurricane. The first they had heard about it was when they tuned in to the radio. I can totally believe there are truckers, and probably other travelers, who are oblivious to Isaac. A lot of people don't pay attention to anything beyond six inches in front of their nose.

No pic showing, but is that the one from yesterday? Or is it a new one?

maximum sustained winds are 10 m winds continuous over 1 minute

Due to surface friction and characteristics of observation sites, 10 meter, 1 minute averaged wind observations really don't exist, and the sites that might be able to measure them don't usually get the brunt of the storm.

NHC verifies their sustained winds on land by using wind gusts.

Prayers and wishes to all affected. I got a foot of water in my house on Ft Morgan. I was lucky enough to have most everything moved. I will get an insurance check for new floors and walls. It doesnt look like it will make it up to the second story.

Didn't work. Male sure you're posting the URL in the image box. As for size, after where it says jpg, add a space and type width=400

Did the TWC guy just say there were 29,000 law enforcement officials in New Orleans?
