I can only imagine....
Hope you're doing well!
Dow 9000 coming at ya like Hurricane Andrew!
Im very sorry to hear that, did you live in NOLA?
Jeez.
This will hit somewhere from the southern tip of FL to Melbourne. It's guaranteed to be a Cat 3. I give it 60% chance hitting Cat 4 and 30% chance Cat 5. If that trough drifts more to the north it will be a cat 5. It's projected to dip to the southwest for a few days, the further south it goes, the stronger it will get.
I have a passion for tracking these things. I told all my friends that if Katrina did as forecasted and drifting SW and went directly over the Gulf Loop that it would be a Cat 5. It did.
I also mentioned on another trading site that there was a 80% chance of Gustav reaching Cat 4 before ANY forecasters did while it was 60mph.
Hurricane Andrew was an amazing freak of nature. It was a classic buzzsaw, the most beautiful infrared pic I've ever seen was the famous landfall of Hurricane Andrew.

Just took a peek at the 11pm Nat Hurricane 5 day plot....NOT GOOD at all....it seems that our only saving grace will be a low pressure system coming from the mid west..if it stalls we could be in deep,deep poop.
The fact that it is a small hurricane in size means diddly squat as the winds 120 mph are no fun,any time...the most I have experienced were approx. 100+ and that is a scream you don't forget...like a 1000 rats all caught at the same time and it seems to go on for an eternity.
If it is a cat. 3+ ,I will be pulling up stumps and getting the family out of here possibly west coast florida ( like a million others at the same time) as I live on the intra coastal.
Not sure I want to see the next report issued
