[monday]

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

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.

You can see the hurricane move east a bit. That is the jog being talked about. As for the destructive force of the winds, the NE quadrant of the eyewall usually produces more serious damage. NO was spared that.
