Katrina continues intensifying as it creeps toward South Florida landfall
Slowing its approach, Tropical Storm Katrina continued intensifying and churning toward South Florida, with landfall projected tonight or early Friday morning as a minimal hurricane.
At 11 a.m., the system was 55 miles east of Fort Lauderdale, creeping west at 6 mph with sustained winds of 60 mph. At that rate and on its current course, the storm would strike somewhere near Fort Lauderdale or Pompano Beach around 10 p.m.
However, because it was expected to slow down even further, its exact landfall point and strength remain iffy, as it could strength and wobble north or south, weather officials said.
