Probably pocketed the money like New Orleans politicians like to do. I'll bet Mitch has some serious dirt on his arse right now that he doesn't want anyone knowing about. Maybe them failed pumps exposed it a little. Where was all that money going because it sure as hell wasn't maintaining pump integrity the past 10 years.

I don't know, seemed like to me growing up New Orleans was always an inch away from seeing a Katrina incident. Bad thing was Katrina isn't even the worst possible scenario because it would've been much worse if it just turned west a little more.

12Z run has Irma at a fraction more south and east entering Florida as 06Z run. Slightly more powerful, too.

Dumbass here, I always have heard that the GOM has warmer waters, which strengthens a hurricane.


The gulf is always warm, but not the home to the warmest and deepest warm water in the Atlantic. Those are typically found in the Caribbean in the waters south of Cuba bumping up into the Yucatan. The fabled "loop current" that Katrina bombed out over that provides a lot of heat to the gulf brings that water into the gulf.

Also fwiw, Ivan was still a healthy four after getting into the Gulf of Mexico. He really didn't lose his punch until he ran up on the cooler waters right up near the coast and hit an eyewall replacement at the same time. The north side of the storm hitting those cooler waters probably was a big part of the little east jog that saved Mobile and wrecked Pensacola, but that's out of the scope of your question really.

So it's been trending slightly east the past couple of runs? Any chance that's bring a pre-Florida turn more into play?

What was the hurricane last year that missed Florida that was a Cat 5. What was the name? I can't remember. I do remember looking at the tropics the day before that thing was headed their way and it seemed like overnight it went from a tropical storm to a Cat 3 or something like that. I think that was pretty crazy to watch last year. Still remember that Smith dude on FOX saying you will die if you're in the path of this storm. That storm basically had their track and models change overnight.

Dumb question but isnt South Florida relatively flat lands?

Wouldn't this exacerbate the wind potential?

Seems like models last 24 hours or so in pretty good agreement this thing gets to tip of floridas penis and shoots north. Margin of error between different runs on that turn north 50-100 miles

So far, Cat 5 from Miami all the way past Melbourne, maybe even Daytona.

The model is stuck slow loading. Yes. South East almost a skirt chase but the eye hits it seems key largo, homestead, Miami. And yes, more powerful. Fricking gotdangit it looks like it goes out in the Atlantic slightly, right after Miami and starts a skirts chase.
