- Ida Weakens; Strong Surge Still Expected
Residents along the point of landfall should expect dangerous waves and coastal storm surges from this Tropical Storm. - A late storm approaches
The 2009 season was quiet... until now. Will Ida prove that a late season storm can do as much damage as one in prime-time? - Category 4 Ike Approaches; Cuba Readies for a Long Night
The Turks and Caicos were severely damaged by this season's most ferocious storm, as Havana expects the worst. Expect a weakened Ike to make the warm waters of the Gulf sometime Tuesday. Best guesses point toward a late week Texas landfall; best guesses indicate a significant storm at landfall. Stay tuned... - Busy: Hanna Approaches US, Ike Grows to a Category 4
This amazing season continues. There's a string of storms stretched across the Atlantic, with a powerful Category 4 storm sandwiched in the middle. Best guesses put Hanna near the South Carolina coast late Friday, with a quick turn north along the East Coast this weekend. Right now it's only packing 65 MPH winds, but strengthening to a minimal hurricane is expected. Ike is the one to watch; the 5-day track moves it into the Caribbean with a slight northwest bend late Sunday. Could be a Southeast US troublemaker after that... - Hurricane Gustav Slams Louisiana
NOLA mostly spared, but other cities to the west suffer extensive damage. Gustav came ashore around 9:30am near Cocodrie Louisiana as a Category 2 storm. It's moving Northwest into Texas overnight. - Cat 3 Gustav Readies For LA Landfall
Will it be as strong as predicted. Is New Orleans in for another storm of the century? Check out HurricaneNow.com. - Gustav Cat 3; NOLA Bound? Maybe...
Though the National Hurricane Center has been slow to adjust their track, they too have now moved the official forecast for a Gustav land fall to the west. The models have been trending that way for a while. But after the experience of 2005, the government's top hurricane forecasting arm is going to be slow to give anyone a stand-down order in New Orleans. Even if the current track is correct which takes Gustav to a landfall point somewhere between Morgan City and New Iberia, Louisiana, the city of New Orleans could take hurricane force winds. - Hurricane Gustav Grows; Significant US Strike Almost Certain
Yes, Gustav may have temporarily lost its hurricane status. But, make no mistake, it is hard to envision a scenario in which we will not have a significant hurricane to deal with somewhere on the Gulf coast sometime next week. - Hurricane Gustav Blows Into the Caribbean
Hurricane Gustav quickly grew into a powerful storm literally overnight Monday and forecasters call for further strengthening after it passes Haiti. This one is serious. The NHC indicates this could be 'an extremely dangerous hurricane in the NW Carribbean Sea in a few days' with a major southwest shift in the path as well. We'll know in a day or two what Gustav is thinking. - Fay Wandering Across Florida
Who expected this? Tropical Storm Fay continues to meander across Florida at a crawl, dumping record rainfall as it turns west into the panhandle. With sustained winds of around 60 mph, this wannabe hurricane will be remembered by many as the annoying storm that dumped as much as 30-inches of soaken misery across the state. Look for a weakened Fay to wander into the Gulf late Friday or early Saturday, then turn into Alabama and Mississippi before fading away.
