That's what they said about Emily, who was following a similar path. There was a nice ridge of high pressure around here that kept her south. She landed in Mexico and didn't even mess with Texas.
Damn, I remember in the day when a hurricane was really no big deal....sit back and drink a few, pick up some branch's the next day. I pray this thing does not hit Louisiana, really would be nice if it just somehow went away so it wouldn't effect anyone....
I agree that La/Tex border is about as far east as it will go. Also, I think if it takes that path it has 120-150 less miles to go so may hit friday evening instead of Sat Am which means it may be long gone by 6:45 Sat. pm.
I watched something on Discovery the other day, and this guy from LSU said that most people know that the hurricane season varies every 100 years between active and nonactive. He also said there is a bigger cycle of 15,000 years of normal and super hurricanes. He said we are right now already into the 100 years cycle of active storms and I think he said this year or next year will possible mark the begining of the 15,000 year cycle. Anyway he said that storms like Katrina will be the normal, he said that there will be storms that have not happened since dinos walked the earth.
Cnn just showed 17 diff computer models and the closest landfall to here was 100 miles from the La/Texas border, with most of them in between the Texas/Mexico border and the middle of S. Texas
As Bob Breck always says: "When the models begin to come together, it is over." And they are indeed coming together
