the latest gfdl run has a cat 5 hitting south of new orleans, and still at 926mb at lake ponchatrain.
model guidance has come back west again....
48 hours out and if the models are correct and this somehow plays out it will be quite a story.
Perhaps we are about to witness a historic event.... one of those watersheds like 9/11, the Challenger, or Kenndy Assassination. While those happened suddely, this is one that will just build over time. Like someone posted, like witnessing a train wreck about to happen and not be able to do anything but watch.
