Only three category five hurricanes have made landfall in US history. It is no exaggeration to say that this might be a catastrophe of historical proportions.

No, only three that we have recorded history on.  I'd be willing to be there have been many more.

The last category five hurricane that made landfall was in 1969. I'm quite sure that recorded history spans the history of the United States, so "only three category five hurricanes have made landfall in US history" would be correct. Would it not?

at this point all you can do it pray that it somehow shears and weakens as it closes on the coast

that eye is tight, the pressure is low and it is riding on the warmest gulf water possible - all we can do is pray for a miracle, or several

We have been preparing for this under what we called Hurricane Pam exercise. The slosh models linked here illustrate what will happen to storm surge hitting New Orleans from a Cat 3 storm.

slosh model

When I left work about an hour ago there were 30,000 people using the Superdome as a shelter. It is estimated that once the water enters the bowl of New Orleans, it will be a long time to get it out due to pumping stations being down.

Estimates are for the eye to hit N.O. at 0700 tomorrow morning with sustained winds of at least 134mph.

This storm is not following the same path as Pam, but the surge was higher than the estimated Pam surge.

Oh...here are some cams of N.O....WARNING, I blocked cookies...

No.  We weren't always recording the weather data.  Nor did we have satelites to track hurricanes.


There were 3 cat 5 hurricanes that hit land SINCE WE STARTED RECORDING DATA.

That says nothing about the ones that hit before.
