Centauri's Thoughts

This was one of the Biggest on record, a STRONG Category 5 just before it hit with 175 MPH winds.. it lost speed just before landfall, but still came ashore with wind speeds of 140 MPH.


We were studying it on Sunday, while it was gaining strength in the Gulf. The eye was well formed, and slightly larger than Lake Okeechobee (about 30 to 35 miles diameter) and the total width of this storm was 486 miles.
That make this storm something affecting about 230,400 square miles.


The clouds inside this hurricane also reached about 10,000 foot level so the volumetric measure of this is just under half a million cubic miles.

The Aftermath of the hurricane is proving far worse than the storm, especially in New Orleans. 3 Levees broken and 80% under varying amounts of water, Satellite pictures have been coming in.
