the doomsday scenarios are all based on a storm coming from the ese.

That's just not true. That's just the easiest one to visualize. A storm coming from the southwest is every bit as devastating.

And the swamps south of New Orleans won't cool the jets of any hurricane to any significant extent.

If I lived in New Orleans, I'd be gathering the important papers and heading west. The city might get lucky again, but it only has to get unlucky once.

I don't know....
It looks like they keep predicting that thing to turn north,
but it keeps going to the west.
I'm beginning to wonder if it's gonna fool everybody and hit US instead...
If I were in NO, I'd evacuate NORTH, and stay away from the coast altogether.
