Cat 4 at landfall and cat 4 inland before it starts to lose strength per WDSU

And with NOLA in the NE quadrant, it could be very, very bad...

Yes, and Rappaport from the NHC just said on WDSU that over land it will slow down. When he was asked if Rappaport had children there now what advice would he give and he replied they’d already be gone.

Agree. I'm afraid this is the end for New Orleans if Gus stays the course. Nothing in the steering indicates any change. Expected to hit just west of NOLA as a strong 4. The time it spends as a 5 will pile up a ton of water like Katrina, but this time instead of Mobile Bay etc, it goes right on into NOLA proper.

Prayers up for those that decide to ride it out.
