Well, that was quick.
910 millibars. 160 mph. (Source: TWC.)
UPDATE: And as if that wasn’t scary enough… the water with the greatest total heat content is still ahead!
Katrina could get even stronger! This thing could rival the 1935 Keys hurricane before it finishes deepening!
As for how strong it will be when it comes ashore… that will depend entirely on the timing of those totally unpredictable eyewall replacement cycles.

Brendan-
My prayer is for prudence:
My prayer is also that everyone who wants to take refuge is afforded the opportunity. It is a time to act on behalf of the downtrodden.
Where are you riding out the storm? Where is your home? I’m praying for your safety as well.
Blessings,
Bob

I’m in South Bend, Indiana, so I think I’ll be OK. :)

Praise God that’s one prayer answered. I couldn’t figure out where you where located from a quick view of your website. Great work and a great location to ride out the storm. You look like the preeminent cyber spot for details on this event.
Much appreciated.

Could that colder water just offshore do any good? Or — Too Late? / This is just bloody Awful.

Maybe… although the surface water isn’t actually that much colder, it’s just that the warm water doesn’t go down as deep, so there’s less heat potential because the hurricane will churn it up.
Anyway, I think the answer is, “not enough.”
