You can see the jog that saved the city of New Orleans from destruction.

That just saved us billions of dollars and countless lives, not to mention irreplaceable historic sites.

I didn't see it at first - but you're right. There wasa slight westerly jog as it neared NO and then it resumed its northerly route.

Hmmmmm... that jog looks like the hand of God pushing a hurricane...

But prayers for those in Gulfport and Mobile MS.

Wow, an amazing loop. Katrina DID just jog around N.O.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Amazing. As if it purposely went around NO and then curved back to it's original path.

Thanks for that! That is an amazing jog!

Well I get a mostly blank screen and a message at the bottom that says:

Due to the nature of "floaters," overlays may not be available in all areas.

My poor little 'puter is an antiquated Pentium running Win 98.
It's still good 'nuff for me since I'm not into the real heavy duty multimedia crap.
But what's this "floater" stuff? I never heard of it before.
It sounds like something that won't flush down the commode.

If you have the capability, check out the loop at the link above. It looks like our prayers were answered.

What jog. New Orleans got the full force of the western eyewall. The clear eye missed New Orleans but that is not the damaging part of the storm. The white bands are the damaging part.
