Here's where I first saw the photo - the 7/12 Atlanta paper.
The question is how soon and how fast will Katrina turn northward. And also will it make one of those right turns before it makes landfall. Earlier it looked like the turn was begining but it still seems almost due west right now.Model Tracks & Floater Image
Looks like you guys may be clear! I was just there a couple of weeks ago and everyone was still cleaning up the previous hurricane mess. Good luck!

I choose the UKMET model as the best. Completely off the top of my head, no history or anything. After all, I'm not a atmospheric scientist or oceanographer, just a aquatic biologist (formerly marine biologist). Got to keep reminding myself of that. Weather Channel screaming that this one will be as bad or worse than Camille. Hmpf. Hope it goes to Mexico so Jim can go catch something. Anybody in Biloxi we know? Paint up a SOWal sign at least!
You are getting SLEEEEEEPY....Look deeeeep into my THIIIIRD EYE...I am a hurricane MAAAGNET!
