11 P.M. EDT 8/26/2005 HURRICANE KATRINA UPDATE #29 This is an independent product Hurricane Katrina is intensifying as it mvoes away from the Florida Keys. Rainfall continues on the lower Florida Keys and over Cuba. Some minor flooding is possible in Cuba as the southern feeder band continues to pelt the island nation with rainfall. Residents of the northern Gulf of Mexico must take this system very seriously. This is potentially the most dangerous situation ever faced by the northern Gulf Coast. Comply with all orders and advice given by local emergency management officials. This is expected to be a very dangerous hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico, prehaps the most dangerous ever in the Gulf of Mexico if this hits near the mouth of the Mississippi. NWHHC no longer recommends any Hurricane Warnings, though a Tropical Storm Warning is recommended from Marathon to the Dry Tortugas. NWHHC will recommend a Hurricane Watch for the northern Gulf Coast sometime early tomorrow morning. As always, these are only recommendations. The official watches and warnings can be found on the Official Alerts Page or from local emergency management officials. Currently, the eye of Hurricane Katrina is located near 24.6N and 83.7W. This places the eye about 455 miles SE of the mouth of the Mississippi River. The motion is to the west near 8 m.p.h. A west track is expected during the next couple of days, then a turn to the north. Maximum winds are now estimated to be near 105 m.p.h. The pressure is estimated to be 960mb. Continued intensification is likely and Katrinka should soon become a major hurricane and is expected to make landfall along the northern Gulf Coast as a category 4 hurricane, capable of producing severe to catastrophic damage.
