Gustav gave BR some of its strongest winds ever recorded.
Correct. Sustained winds at the airport were around 60mph, likely a bit stronger towards St George and St Gabriel.
Might beat that with this storm.
Was a little alarmed when WAFB noted the possibility of 110 mph winds in the city. Looks like that might be a bit of an over estimate with the latest updates. Hopefully it won’t be anything near that.

But Katrina was boasted as a “Cat 4”
But I seem to remember that after retroactive analysis of wind measurements in the New Orleans area it was only a Cat 2/3 when it hit that area. Again that’s just a vague memory I have because when I heard that it really surprised me.
Katrina went through an eye wall replacement cycle like 2 hours prior to landfall that dropped its winds to around 120 (cat 3) but it still carried a Cat 5 surge

Plus those recordings are from the airport which is north of the city. South BR.. especially Iberville and SW Ascension gusted over 100 mph. That's where the electrical grid was really worked over. Those huge metal line towers were twisted and knocked down.

I threw a 20lb bag of ice into the water. That storm can’t handle the ice.

If Gustav gusted to 100 mph right south of BR and 91 at the airport 110 wouldn't shock me in south BR from this one being a stronger and closer track to BR than Gustav.

No fricking shite, & if Ted Bundy hadn’t raped and murdered all those people, he would’ve been remembered as a pretty nice guy.

Probability for 74MPH winds
This is the only map I don't quite understand. All bands are in 10% increments. According to this map, BR has a 20% chance to see 74MPH winds, however, I would think Dulac has a better than 40% chance???

Takes into account track fluctuations and that stuff.

Check again 36 hours from now. Those percentage probability maps are useless a couple of days out.

It would have to be a shack to have problems in 110 mph winds. Katrina hit NOLA with at least that
Max sustained in Katrina was 69 mph at Lakefront airport.

Fun fact. Because NOLA did not issue a mandatory evacuation your renters/home insurance will not have to initially pay housing expenses for those evacuating (loss of use).
