This is my official prediction of Katrina's path.

I agree I think the weather channel is off right now.

That is a hell of a bank, but maybe. It depends on the jet current I guess...

There is a pressure ridge on the LA/TX county line that is going to make it turn north. If you look at a satellite loop you'll see a "hollow" area between to areas of light clouds and that area is getting pinched. That is what is supposed to force it north.

Looks like you had better hook that winch cable to something strong and hang on.

It may be the end of the Big Easy...

it already looks like it's starting to turn...if you look closely in the last couple of frames you can see a definate jump north.

well from the picture Paragon posted it should be to my house in southern Michigan in about 3-4 days. it may not cause the damage it will in the south, but I'll bet we get some pretty hard pouring storms from it up here.

Damn glad Drty's prediction is wrong. It looked like that it should hit Galveston, the way it was heading west.

Jeez that thing is huge.

Stay safe guys.

I agree this might be the end for it, if it hits it. I hope not, and I hope this storm spares many people. Hang on you guys/girls down there!

Looks like that sucker will be in your back yard Monday Night. We will say a prayer for you and all our other fiends in the path.
Hang on tight.

They are suggesting we'll get 50-70 mph winds here and up to 100 mph down at the ranch.

One thing is for sure, This thing is no joke. I can't believe that Fox news anchor is there in that hotel. I know I will be watching the news until it hits, I can't help it.

Paragon, do you have a generator just in case?

We have options depending on what happens. Worse case is we have to take the H2 and drive out if a tree doesn't fall on it. We can drive 40 miles northwest and be out of the rain, much less the bad winds. If it sounds like it is going to be a while, we'll go visit Taz or something.
