I managed to keep the piccie open despite the message that data was
unavailable by judicial use of the stop button.

Is the data it does show accurate or dated?

On another link I got this 123 rule:

The 1-2-3 Rule, commonly taught to mariners, refers to the rounded
long-term NHC/TPC forecast errors of 100-200-300 nautical miles at
24-48-72 hours,respectively.

The NHC/TPC does not warrant that avoiding these danger areas will
eliminate the risk of harm from tropical cyclones. Users operating in
the vicinity of these systems are advised to continually monitor the
latest Forecast/Advisories from the TPC/NHC and proceed at their own
risk.

Updated now:

"...leaving at least six dead and 1.4 million without power.
Katrina's winds reached 100mph (160 km/h), and the hurricane is
gathering strength as it crosses the Gulf of Mexico towards north-west
Florida. The authorities said it would take days to restore power to
those affected by the lashing winds and rain."

So much for "minimal hurricane", as it was described in the media..
They really should stop using such misleading descriptions - it's even
worse than "mini tornado" - which can also kill.
