Convection is really starting to flare up. We're lucky Isaac waited this long to get it going.. time is about to run out.

I've never given one opinion on this thing

I saved this link to follow tornadoes in East Texas earlier this year. Thought I'd see if any were near the gulf. There are quite a few!!

Enjoy.

NAM has this thing going west, then south west into texas.

The NAM is a junk model when it comes to hurricanes but that path would send this place into a meltdown when it started coming back to the NE before finally going NW

AT 400 PM CDT....THE CENTER OF HURRICANE ISAAC WAS LOCATED
BY NOAA DOPPLER RADARS NEAR LATITUDE 28.7 NORTH...LONGITUDE 89.2
WEST. ISAAC IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 8 MPH...13 KM/H. A
NORTHWESTWARD MOTION AT A SLIGHTLY SLOWER SPEED IS EXPECTED OVER
THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. ON THE FORECAST TRACK...THE CENTER OF
HURRICANE ISAAC SHOULD REACH THE COASTLINE OF SOUTHEASTERN
LOUISIANA THIS EVENING.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 80 MPH...130 KM/H...
WITH HIGHER GUSTS. ISAAC IS A CATEGORY ONE HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-
SIMPSON HURRICANE WIND SCALE. SOME SLIGHT STRENGTHENING IS POSSIBLE
BEFORE ISAAC MAKES LANDFALL. GRADUAL WEAKENING IS EXPECTED AFTER
LANDFALL OCCURS.

HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 60 MILES...95 KM...MAINLY
TO THE NORTHEAST AND EAST OF THE CENTER.

THIS IS BIG STORM==TROPICAL-STORM-FORCEVWINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 185 MILES..

TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS ARE OCCURRING ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS OF SOUTHEASTERN
LOUISIANA...MISSISSIPPI...AND ALABAMA. WIND AT 63 MPH WITH GUST TO 83 MPH...

THE ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 975 MB...28.79 INCHES.

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
STORM SURGE...THE COMBINATION OF A STORM SURGE AND THE TIDE WILL
CAUSE NORMALLY DRY AREAS NEAR THE COAST TO BE FLOODED BY RISING
WATERS. THE WATER COULD REACH THE FOLLOWING DEPTHS ABOVE GROUND IF
THE PEAK SURGE OCCURS AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE...

* MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA...6 TO 12 FT

* SOUTH-CENTRAL LOUISIANA...3 TO 6 FT

WIND=...TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD ACROSS THE
WARNING AREA THIS EVENING...

AND HURRICANE CONDITIONS SHOULD SPREAD ONSHORE ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

HIGH RISE BUILDINGS GET STRONGER WINDS=
WINDS AFFECTING THE UPPER FLOORS OF HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS WILL BE
SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER THAN THOSE NEAR GROUND LEVEL. AT ABOUT THE
30TH STORY...WINDS WOULD LIKELY BE ONE SAFFIR-SIMPSON CATEGORY
STRONGER THAN AT THE SURFACE.

RAINFALL...ISAAC IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
7 TO 14 INCHES...WITH POSSIBLE ISOLATED MAXIMUM AMOUNTS OF 20
INCHES...OVER MUCH OF LOUISIANA...SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI...SOUTHERN
ALABAMA...AND THE EXTREME WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. THESE RAINS
COULD RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT LOWLAND FLOODING.

TORNADOES...TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST
THROUGH TONIGHT.

SURF...DANGEROUS SURF AND RIP CURRENT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO
AFFECT THE WEST COAST OF FLORIDA AND PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN GULF
COAST FOR THE NEXT DAY OR SO.

anyone who doesn't think this is doomsday and that all of Baton Rouge will blow over is an a-hole and psychotic.
