Yes.
So was Rita.
Both had been Cat 5 at some point over the Gulf.

Well Miami - Ft. Lauderdale is exponentially more fricked at the current track and time.

It got to cat 5 at one point, but made landfall as a 3.
The storm surge thought was what you would see from a 5 though.

Are there any variables at play which could shift the track more to the West? So far I see this thing is predicted to fly right up the Florida penisula.

Katrina was a category 3 with 125 mile an hour sustained winds at landfall but had hurricane force winds roughly 100 miles out from the center.
Strom went through an eye-wall replacement cycle shortly before landfall which weakened the storm from its 175mph peak on Sunday mourning.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Because there has been so much dumbassery that real weather folks have fled the thread.

At least the southeastern seaboard.

How well did the models perform with Katrina?
If a doctor somewhat misdiagnosed a severe illness, does that mean you should ignore all future doctors advice? "Well it wasn't a tumor last time." Who argues that "gut" is a better guage than models and meteorologist? Skepticism, sure. But the models are the best bet.
Sorry. I'm done. Back to the info. Thanks to the smart weather people who say smart weather stuff and keep things on track.

My 76 year old Mom and her older sister Are planning on driving from their Fort Pierce home on Thursday to Orlando . I told them to leave earlier. I offered to fly her to stay with family in NY but she does not want to be that far away from her home . People get stubborn at that age and you have to badger them .

Speaking of surge, I wonder what impact the sudden northward turn may have on surge. I'd think a change of direction that soon before landfall may mitigate some surge, but I'm just speculating.

They don't lose their surge strength as quickly as their wind strength if they lose it at all. Katrina was still carrying the surge strength from her peak.

How about we start an official non-dumbass thread then. People really do come here for weather updates and this storm's getting serious enough that, even with the dumbasses it's time for a sticky.

CAT5 Hurricane Irma - Potential SE US & Eastern Gulf Threat
Was Katrina a Cat 3 when it hit? I saw where someone here said Cat 5
Katrina got to, I think, 175 MPH in the gulf 24 hours before landfall. As it's massive size started interacting with land, and an eyewall replacement cycle occured, it lost strength before landfall.
Katrina really broke the playbook. We now have storm surge warnings that are seperate from hurricane warnings because of that storm. Katrina's massive size is what used all the energy of that storm, more so than insane wind speeds.

Whatever happened with that new satellite that went up earlier this year or late last year that was supposed to give us these new, crazy, never before seen views of the storm? Are those coming out yet?
