A troubling situation is beginning to unfold for New Orleans, Louisiana, Alabama, and all the areas that will be affected by hurricane Isaac..
Winds aloft are over 100 mph several thousand feet up, and forecasters fear that those winds may descend as Isaac approaches land..
The other precarious situation Will be the amount of excessive rainfall that dump out of this hurricane. If production holds true Isaac is set to drench New Orleans with a direct hit of about 7 to 20 inches of rain.. Officials are adamant that the levees will hold and after seven years of fixing that has occurred there will pay off during the storm, however one must question the logic that no official wanted to evacuate the city given the disaster that occurred after Katrina in 2005..
The storm will have a dramatic impact as it is a slow moving system that could take hours just to fully move onto land. Isaac is forecasted to be hitting the Gulf Coast by midnight tonight, however models show that within 6 to 8 hours the storm is only 20 to 30 miles inland.. That equals a very troubling situation as this slow-moving system will continue to pound the area with heavy winds and torrential downpour, along with tornadoes and any other form of severe weather respond by such a storm..
Isaac is currently a category 1 hurricane, and has the potential to become a category 2.. The time for preparation is just about done, if you are in the areas that will be slammed by Isaac now was time to hunker down, pray, and hope the levees hold if those levees are holding back a lake around..
There will be heavy rain and flooding in places that don't expect to get it..
