Hurricane status "not based on how it looks on satellite, it's based on WIND DATA! If it's not there, it's not there," @mark_wx. #Isaac

You have so many points can't you pin your own thread?

Its jogging west too into the Loop Current.

Also, the anti-cyclone has now positioned itself over the low-level circulation.

It is now stacking where it can begin ventilation.

Isaac will be cranking up.

I will hold you to it, if Isaac reachs above a cat 3 I will pay you $10 via paypal.

Why is mark getting mad

Pay GLP instead.

So does that mean that all the oil, COREXIT and whatever else it morphed into, gets sucked up into the atmosphere and later gets dumped as poisoned rain upon the land.

I like what mark is saying. WIND DATA.


No doom here. Move along.

No more than a cat2 so why are you junking up this crap

If he continues west, he will go right over the Loop Current.

This is the hot water that spinned up Katrina to a Cat 5.

Just like Katrina was before it exploded in the same spot while slowing down.. ITS HAPPPENING! Part 2 and there eont be any set left to do a sequel..

So does that mean that all the oil, COREXIT and whatever else it morphed into, gets sucked up into the atmosphere and later gets dumped as poisoned rain upon the land.

I live in New Orleans. Have lived here 20 years and played this storm game a few times. I have been watching the LOCAL weathermen for days.

There is not enough time for Isaac to become a CAT5 or even a 3. Maybe not even a 2. Chill out.

Isaac is NOT and WILL NOT be a Katrina.

New Orleans is a different city than she was 7 years ago. Way more protected from levee breech.

We may lose power for awhile, we may have 24 hours of rain. But this is not going to be a Katrina.

As far as the oil and corexit and your imaginary friend SYNTHIA coming in? Yeah we have already had a number of storms since 2010 that would have brought any chemicals to shore. There also is this thing called a tide that is constantly bringing in new water from gulf. There are 1000's of ships a year that travel all throughout the gulf and come up the MS river and to ports all along the gulf coast. These chemicals would have been coming into our waters for over 2 years. STFU

Talk about the storm all you want. It is important to share information. But shut up about the virus bs.

Take it from a local. This is NOT DOOM. Isaac is going to be similar to a bad snowstorm out east where people are uncomfortable for a little bit without power and such.

:blackcat: So does that mean that all the oil, COREXIT and whatever else it morphed into, gets sucked up into the atmosphere and later gets dumped as poisoned rain upon the land.

All your precious wind data comes from the NWS aka the government.. Im sure you listen to all the MSM tells you huh?

Last three recon fixes show a nearly due west track
