They just adjusted the track east from the 5 pm forecast, threatening Florida more than New Orleans. We'll see. Nobody should get too concerned in the US until the Thursday night forecast, at the earliest.
I guess Louisiana and Mississippi and Texas ought to be ready and willing to take this one from Florida, but it is not nice to think about. I have always worried about one coming up the Miss R and into New Orleans. I was there for Betsy and it was scary, scary.
