Hurricane Warnings have been posted for east of Morgan City, LA to Destin, FL including metropolitan New Orleans, Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas. A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. A Warning is typically issued 36 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical storm force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion.

Katrina passed over southern Florida and the Keys as a Category 1 hurricane. It heated in the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall as a Cat 5.   longer than Katrina, but, not longer than Andrew in 1992.  Andrew started in the Atlantic but took Katrina's path over southern Florida as Katrina did. Andrew was a Cat 5 when it passed over Florida. Issac had a similar path as Andrew only more south. When examining the health of the troposhere and the Climate Crisis it is legitimate to realize the path and development of Isaac is extremely different than storms of prior years. Andrew in 1992 and Katrina in 2005 had no problem building into strong storms uninterrupted. That is not the experience with Issac. Isaac's track is more southern than other storm development of the same origins and path. Isaac developed in a more southern longitude due to the lack of water vapor in areas where others storms have developed. Isaac's development occurred at the expense of rainforest water vapor and water vapor found at the Intertropical Convergence Zone. Isaac developed very differently than storms Pre-2006. |
