This time we will likely see data throughout the storm as long as the instruments themselves hold up (Rollover Pass may have just bit it). During Katrina the instruments held up for awhile, then the National Bouy Data Center itself went offline as it took a direct hit. Of course, this storm isn’t much like Katrina, but there’s definitely already some pretty major flooding.
