So much for being a category one. Sounds stronger than expected. We have had 80+mph gusts here in Kenner and I have already lost some soffit and fascia.

The extremely low pressure of this storm is finally showing itself.

They don't do categories based on gusts. It's based on maximum sustained winds.
It's still just a Cat 1. Calm down.

That isn't even the worst. New Orleans has already had 5 inches of rain and they still have at least 24 hours of rain left. 20 inches is a possibility at this point.

I get that, but what do you call a cat 1 that hits land at 6:45, and then at 2:40 it has only shifted a few miles west and is still to make a third landfall.
We have been in roughly the same spot as far as bands for the past six+hours.

You call it a Cat 1. The problem is, the only thing the SS scale is concerned with is wind speed. A big, stationary, strengthening Cat 1 is not the same as a small quickly moving Cat 1.

Thi storm is quickly turning from a garden variety tropical storm into a complete shite show. I've lost count on the numbers of transformers I've seen exploding.

Are you driving around trying to guess which one goes up next.
