Hope and Pray? Coach O?

Yeah, Mandeville looks to be sustained around 40 and gusts under 60 most places I see

how much do the models take into account the coastal wind shear and how much hope is there for the shear to weaken this biotch some before it slams us in Thibodaux?

On Tropical Tidbits the plane just got 972 during a center fix so it isn't weakening yet.

In terms of hurricanes, what does “deepening” mean? Drop in pressure?

Edit “ When a hurricane deepens, it means that the central pressure of the storm's surface low pressure system is decreasing, which indicates that the storm is intensifying”

What makes me nervous is the memory of Hurricane Michael. Not to insinuate this thing could compare with that storm strength wise put perhaps situationally.

Forecasters often say they are much better forecasting track than they are intensity and that was certainly the case with Michael. I recall shear was forecasted to affect it, and we all know how that turned out.

Do not let your guard down, prepare as though this will not weaken. Better safe than sorry, because that barometer is still falling,

So here in Baton Rouge, wake up this morning and looks as if it has shifted again east which would put us on the not to bad side of it. Which just fricks NOLA over correct?
