but New Orleans is the worst by a long shot.

Thanks. I haven't been keeping track of this one. I had heard a couple of days ago about a "tropical storm" hitting Florida. I thought it might actually be a relief for folks there but then I hear "hurricane" and now we have this. Geez.

I know about New Orleans. My hometown (Houma) is just to the southwest in Terrebonne Parish. But wouldn't the "doomsday scenario" require a more direct and northwest hit at the river? Just curious.

Any category 4 storm or bigger from any direction that directly hits New Orleans puts it under 20 feet of water. For smaller storms, the direction matters.

The computer models could hardly be more perfectly aligned.

The situation can't really be more serious than it is right now.
