The west side of the eyewall grazed the NO area to the very far east. It looks like they'll get a drop-off for a bit and then a big feeder band will wrap in from the WSW.
Another thing I was wondering about - did the traffic jams on I-10 and the other roads clear or where there people still stuck on them when this thing hit?
Haven't heard anything on that. Maybe some of the folks trying to turn this into a hurricane chat/joke thread could do some research instead and find out.
Reports of massive flooding in Mississippi and Alabama.
Not many freeper reports coming in from those areas? Seems like everyone is talking about New Orleans. These other areas are getting hit very hard.
