TWC is saying it will most likely take 24-36 hours for Katrina to get from the east coast to the west coast. I understand that there could be some major flooding but what about wind? As i understand it, when a storm moves over land and for long periods of time due to slow forward speed, wouldn't it lose some of it's wind? I know there is no terrain to really impede the storm, but it still won't have the warm water feeding it. So if it takes almost two days to cross the state does that mean by the time it gets near me (Manatee County, north of Sarasota) the winds should at or below tropical storm strength? Also, TWC's path takes it pretty damn close to my area whereas the NHC and some of the models have it exiting around the FT Myers/Naples area. Any thoughts on this? You can PM if you wish....
