***Hurricane Karl Will Hit The Coast Of Mexico As A CAT4 Damn!!!***

bad bad news...

Sustained winds of 140mph, its almost a CAT5 isnt it!!??

Stay safe!!

we're getting rain on some of its bands...

Too Late!!!

According to your link it is predicted to have 140mph, landfall Sat 8am and center of storm 37 miles north of Veracruz, a city of a million plus. This NW tracking storm took an unpredicted turn west...

Keep us updated, if possible...

I am SE, high in in the mountains. We'll get rain, maybe flooding, but not the wind...

lol

there are hurricanes like every year

coastal people i know go through about 12 or more during their lives

but now its a big deal

lol

like it used to be "its 94 degrees outside today" but now the news is "with the heat index figure its 110 degrees"

lol

The heavy rain suddenly stopped, so the bands have passed by here. Good luck Veracruz..

In before HAARP gets a mention...

That "unpredicted NW turn" is what i'd expect to see of any strengthening Hurricane, especially one thats gone from a CAT1 to almost CAT4 literally overnight.
NHC will be keeping a VERY close eye on the path of this one.

For the record. A CAT4 with *sustained* winds of 140mph will practically level almost every building that the Eyewall region crosses. Combined the fact Models are showing significant flash-flooding further inland to sweep through the areas initially hit by Karl upon landfall, it'll be a double hit of storm AND flood damage.

I just hope those in the path are packing there bags and getting the hell out of there pronto. They've got no less than 12 hours before the first of the 75mph winds start hitting, from there it only gets worse.

That will put Veracruz on the weak side of the storm still, with little to no storm surge there if it follows that path.

Hey Kev...YOU SUCK! Where were your "models" on this one?

Mexico--- :dubya: ---Karl

It has now changed course again, WSW, and is heading straight for Veracruz (the eye expected to reach the city in an hour or so). It seems to have been downgraded to a Cat 3. According to the link the strongest inner circle (75 to 120mph) has just hit the city. The radio about 2 hours ago announced evacuation of the area. Obviously they have been caught off guard by the storm's constantly changing course,,, Of course the holiday independence week may be making coordination that much more difficult. We have a friend in Veracruz, we'll try to phone her....

Its HAARP

Just clocked a 75 mph gust front from a feeder band at Austin/San Antonio site. The rain will go north with more flooding in TX

El 'peligroso' huracán Karl tocó tierra hoy en la costa suroeste de México, con vientos de 185 kilómetros por hora, informó el Centro Nacional de Huracanes (CNH) de Estados Unidos.

El ojo de Karl entró a tierra a las 11:30 tiempo de México a 15 kilómetros al norte de Veracruz y se desplaza en dirección oeste-suroeste a una velocidad de 13 kilómetros por hora.

Here's an update..

The dangerous hurricane Karl touched land today in the southeast of Mexico with winds of 185 kmh, according to the National Center of Hurricanes of the US. The eye of Karl hit land at 11:30am, 15km north of Veracruz tracking WSW at 13km per hour.

The last update was at 3pm (an hour and half ago), so I assume we are in blackout and we'll hear the extent of damage sometime soon...

local weather guy says it will be a CAT 1 tomorrow over south central TX.

It isnt expected to go north at all, and has dissipated to Cat2 tracking WSW into the interior of central Mexico.
