From the 10AM CDT discussion --- Fluctuations in strength...due to internal structural changes...are likely prior to landfall. Hurricanes rarely sustain such extreme winds for much time. However we see no obvious large-scale effects to cause a substantial weakening the system...and it is expected that the hurricane will be of category 4 or 5 intensity when it reaches the coast. . Let's hope that it weakens and is going through an eye rebuilding process as it lands. New Orleans is a treasure... I hope the city comes through this nightmare. John

The eye passed right near our house when it came through here, thank God it was only a category 1 at the time... I agree, this hurricane is of historic magnitude, it will completely devastate anything in its path, the winds are comparable to a F-3 tornado... nothing is safe, I fear there will be very many deaths from this... also, the storm surge is expected to be between 25 and 30 feet, this is unbelievable, considering New Orleans is actually below sea level in the first place... I'm nervous for those people... GZ
