Katrina was weakening when it made landfall. Never experienced any wind like that in my life. Hundreds of trees fell on our property in St Tammany and knocked out power for a month.
Katrina is an example of why, for a powerful hurricane, weakening near landfall is not always a good thing. The eye wall replacement cycle that Katrina went through right before landfall served to collapse some of its inner core, spread out the storms, and significantly broaden the wind field. A weakening Cat 5 is a different animal than a strengthening Cat 4, for that very reason.
It is crazy to think of it that way.

So I have a side question for the weather folks here. How does something like Hurricane Ike happen where its remnants end up giving us here in Kentucky sustained 80 mph winds?

There has to be some feature in place to weaken a system after landfall. Land interaction is not always enough to break it down. So, if conditions over land are favorable, and a storm is strong enough, you have a lasting system well inland.
Ivan was very similar. It was a storm that just wouldn't die.

Typically to get that kind of wind that far away from landfall the extratropical transition has some colder air to work with and the warm/cold clash makes for a strong system but it isn't a tropical process at that point in time.
Don't remember the specifics with Ike, I'd turn you to TD Chief Weather Historian The Boat for more info.

Keep in mind that preparations for #Laura may be made more difficult due to any lingering impacts from #Marco. Review your plans now and be prepared to take action if/when watches are issued. #lawx #mswx

Are people out there prepping for each storm by name? Just have your spam, several loaves of bread and 3-4 gallons of milk along with 6-12 D batteries and you’re good for the whole season.

It's a good thing that neither of these storms is named Karen. I am sure the comments would be very interesting.

Storms that race up to the northeast have transition to extratropical and get caught up in toughs that really create a tight gradient
Ike path and wind reports
It's like short live tropical storm olga last year. It was caught up in a front offshore and hit the southeast with a narrow band of strong winds much stronger than it ever would have by itself.

As of right now, this is no Katrina. Especially size-wis

When you think of Laura laugh don't cry. I know she'd want it that way

Was wondering who was going to pull the trigger on posting that.

I think the Tweet was referring to anyone who may NOT chose to evacuate for Marco but MIGHT HAVE TO for Laura especially for those in coastal areas & if Laura is approaching as a major hurricane.

@TropicalTidbits
Radar suggests that #Laura's mid-level center is drilling down to the surface just off the southern Puerto Rico coastline. Very strong vortical updraft is evident. The new circulation is small and may be disrupted passing over PR's mountains. Strong winds indicated by radar. LINK

That plan might not be the most efficient, but it might just work!
