It's supposed to make landfall around 2PM Monday at the latest now.
We are already under 72 hours. If it does track into New Orleans over night, and they decide sometime tomorrow to finally call for evacs, it's going to be FUBAR. Totally FUBAR.
They should have said nobody knows. Get your house prepared and get packed to go just in case.
To: Prolifeconservative
why wouldn't they leave?
however, if the eye comes in east of New Orleans, it will not get the worst of it. So far I think, most of the projections keep the eye just to the east of NO.
To: Prolifeconservative
Doesn't look like they have much time to prepare either...God, I hope you're wrong.

Ahhh,
CRAP. This thing is getting way too close to me for comfort.
I've never evacuated for a hurricane before -- not even Andrew -- but Lili in '02 changed my mind. Next one that lands here, I'm not sticking around for.

It's not coming to Texas, I promise you that, shield. Not this one.
I can't make the same promise to New Orleans.
To: Dog Gone
Someone needs to explain why the politicians in New Orleans issued statements about not worrying or leaving the city. Working on the homeless problem?

where exactly is new orleans on that map?
To: NautiNurse
"NO needs 72 hours evac lead time."
A weekend arrving hurricane is somewhat advantageous in that most people won't be filing out of their workplace and hitting the roads in unison when local officials order evacuations.

Big worry is power. Southern crews are going to be way busy in lower Florida fixing their mess. Where in LA are ya? I am right outside Gonzales myself.

I'm also watching from central MarylandDid you read Cosgrove's statement? He thinks that Katrina will NOT go west of the Appalachians. I'm watching for the turn to the north or east...

Hello,
My husband and I visit NO at least 2 times a year, we were there last Thursday (drove over from Gulfport). I can not imagine a Cat 3 - 4 hitting that city, the devastation would be unbelievable. I also think that many in NO and especially the Quarter would choose to "ride it out" or would have no way to get out. The number of deaths from such a disaster would be shocking. Our prayers are with everyone who is in the path of this horrible storm.
Glad to be here, MOgirl

where exactly is new orleans on that map? That dot on the pink track is just slightly NE of New Orleans.
To: Flux Capacitor
thanks.
interesting that the weather channel does not seem to be in sync with these models right now. steve lyons still pointing to landfall east of new orleans - Mobile, Florida panhandle, etc.
To: dogbyte12
Lafayette here. Lili was such a huge scare because it strengthened to a Cat 5 after it was far too late to evacuate the city. It was literally a miracle that it plunged to a Cat 2 before hitting us. I remember Mike Foster saying as much, and I remember that being about the only thing he ever said that made any sense.

The models might change. I don't think they will much, because we're getting closer to landfall and the systems are largely in place.
Maybe it's just a lucky guess on my part, but I've always seen a more western second landfall for this storm than the NHC or earlier models did.
I can't see it going more west than the current model runs, i.e., central Louisiana at one extreme and Pensacola at the other.
