that loop shows the eyewall directly hitting new orleans...there was no divine jog that saved nola.
nola was saved by the weakening of the storm from 175mph to 135mph.

The problem is, while some had their prayers answered, others were still left to face the wrath of this monster.

I don't see the jog, but the weakening of the storm right before landfall was massive, and that is what saved NOLA. And also made the damage elsewhere less than it could have been.

After seeing that I must say, "Merci, Notre Dame de Prompt Secour."
But for everyone else still in need, "Notre Dame de Prompt Secour! Haitez-vous de nous securir!"
