I have spent several nights at the hospital
during Hurricanes. At our hospital in LC during Laura, the tower was swaying. Stay safe

I’m not gonna tell you not to leave, but if you are you need to get moving quick. And come up with a plan.
I would go west if I were you. Just to avoid driving through what you’re evacuating from.

Eastern eyewall…

I saw that it said the hurricane is now a category 4 . I thought it was weaker then that. I know it was supposed to intensify but I didn’t realize it was a 4 already.
Then another report ,at the same time , said it’s going to intensify into a category 3 .
How is this possible? The statements contradict each other.
Are they saying that it’s already intensified into a category 4 , but will become weaker once it hits land ? Therefore it will produce category 3 conditions once it hits areas like New Orleans or places that are a little further inland than say, grand isle?
Just trying to understand the situation better. The updates on the weather channel app on my tv are just contradicting themselves.
Someone can hopefully clear this up for me , thread is too long to start from the beginning of today

So let's meet in the middle. Would it have been an acceptable message to the public that the contra-flow on Saturday would be open and emergency services were available for the disabled and elderly starting on Friday?
Don't disagree. SC does contraflow for even a remotely powerful storm headed to the coast. At the rate you guys in LA get hit every year, I don't understand why it wasn't. It would be tiring for residents, but it would be the right thing to do.
The after-action report on this storm will be interesting on who did what and when.

It intensified like they said it would. End of story. There wasn’t a lot of recon yesterday on the storm, and intensity forecasts did go down, but no data?

I have been waken up in the middle of the night about 3 times over the past 10 years for crazy sounding emergence mobile Amber Alert "text messages".
Can any locals in Louisiana say if there have been any of those types of texts in the past 12 hours?
If not and you are just waking up, would you have been upset if you had received one two hours ago notifying you that the storm is now a category 4?
Spot on. But don’t you worry. We will get 100 of them later tonight once the storm is halfway over. Get ready for hurricane/flood/thunderstorm/tornado/wind alerts.

Amazing how much impact these little wabbles have. The NWS Covington forecast went from 60 sustained with gust to 80 back down to 30-45.
BTW this wind model WWL is using is much more aggressive than the NWS numbers. Like 30-40 mph difference.

so about 945?

Can you link the wind model to covington?

They’re made fir indoors like a window unit.
If you live in a place with low humidity, evaporation is the same indoors as out.
But they drip and will eventually ruin especially wood flooring.

Yeah - this is driving me crazy.
It'd be nice to get some consistency.

Pressure? Looks like maybe 948ish.
This recon pass justifies the upgrade to 120kt winds on the storm advisory.

Cat 3 vs Cat 4 doesn’t tell the only story.
Hurricane category is primarily descriptive of wind speed, and the real threat is water.
There have been Cat 3s that drop more water and wreak havoc more than some Cat 4s.

Those were supposedly record breaking? I think they hit 100mph at landfall
150mph at landfall for Laura. Gusts of 136mph 30 miles inland in south LC before the NWS instruments broke at the airport
