Katrina is making landfall in the Mississippi delta and eastern New Orleans area. Slightly diminished in wind speed (around 145mph), the storm took a slight turn to the right a missed a direct hit to New Orleans.
Talked with Jeff at 2am and 9am. At 9am they were already getting significant winds (upto 100mph). They are located near the coast between Gulf Port and Biloxi. I suspect the footage to come out of this storm is going to be quite good.
The eye of the storm looks to go right over where the Weathervine team is located. Might finally get the "stadium" shot that has evaded hurricane chasers.
This is quite an event, and one to remember. I just wonder if the winds will have been as strong as Hurricane Charley from 2004. And I guess there is still a good chance I'll intercept that landfalling Catagory 5 since this once didn't make it at landfall.
