You come into these threads and throw out what you claim to know, when the truth is you are usually dead arse wrong and dont have a clue what you are talking about.
Way before the projections showed it turning north RDS was in here hinting that it could happen, while you sat here and said no way it was going to Texas.
If other people are like me, they dont get information from the news. Rds and a few others on here usually provide much better information, with clearer explanations. So I get 99% of my hurricane info here. The problem is, you try to be one of these people, and usually fill up these threads with your useless BS. This isn't a football score you are spewing shitty information about. So just stay out of it.

When I moved down here I knew they would roll him out for a storm. Now that I'm older I've always wondered if he was as legit as people say

I'm too young to remember or know of him in his prime, but pretty much anyone you talk to will have the same opinion of him. The GOAT

Good god those models are a massive clusterfrickery

Contrast that to looking at a bunch of computer models and trying to justify why your personal favorite is the correct one like many of the so-called experts do today.

Yep, Nash was an OG hurricane hunter. He was on the first plane to ever go into a storm.

New exhibit about Louisiana in WWII at the WWII museum has some Nash Roberts stuff from the war in it. Pretty cool

00Z NAM is slightly NNE of the previous run through 39 hours and slightly stronger.

Saturday to Wednesday will be wet in some capacity. That's all we know at this point.
Will be a day or two before we can be more sure.

I still maintain Nash's biggest success wasn't calling a hurricane - even though he was the best at that.
When the Pan Am flight went down in Kenner in 82, all the news stations had their weather guys on the air talking about the weather at the time of the crash. Pretty much everyone was sure that lightning had hit the aircraft.
Nash comes on WWL, and basically says, yeah, I know everyone is saying lightning, and that's a possibility, but there is this thing called wind shear that we don't know a whole lot about. But this, to me, looks like a classic case of wind shear.
He said this maybe 90 minutes after the crash.
He also, a few hours later, basically said if the $%$^#@ government would put more resources into radar technology, we would better be able to tell when these wind shear events happen.
Sure enough, he was right, and sure enough, eventually we got doppler radar and wind-shear detectors at most airports.

I was a freshman at Southern Miss. Rode out the storm in the hallway of Roberts Hall. A bunch of us drug our mattresses in the hallway and slept there.
Wake up the next morning and go outside and this giant oak tree that was in the quad is now on the ground. The way it fell was the ONLY way it could fall and not cause damage to a building.

always a dispute over which disaster more fueled that call you speak of...
Pan Am 759 (Kenner 1982)
Delta 191 (Dallas 1985)

I think the 82 crashed set the stage that it was a problem, and got the government thinking about it.
In typical government fashion, though, it took a second incident (the dallas crash) to get the feds off their butts and make it happen.
ETA: there was another crash in NY I think, that was wind shear, but I don't think they really knew that until much later
