FLHurricane.com: Category 5 Katrina Winds to 175MPH

Hurricanes rarely sustain such extreme winds for much time. However we see
no obvious large-scale effects to cause a substantial weakening the
system...and it is expected that the hurricane will be of category
4 or 5 intensity when it reaches the coast.

Im still praying and my thought on landfall is bumped up to 145 from 130 which is a cat 3 i still dont think this will hit as a 5 but that is just my thinking from storms tht get this strong.They tend to cycle down.That and the fact the shear is now not going to be as bad as was projected i thinbk will keep it a 4.

Now don't go by what i am thinking go by the NHC this is just what i have been thinking since yesterday.

And this cane has not turned north yet and maybe IMO this will hit farther west of N.O. far enough to not devestate the city.Anyone see the north turn coming?? i see nothing stoping this from the NW motion it is on now.
