Wrong, the computer models were converging on a SE LA hit as early as Friday morning, the official NHC track was shifted westward to Pascagoula (within 90 miles of NOLA) for the 4pm announcement, with the note that further moves westward were very possible, which indeed happened with the updates Friday night.
The 11:30 AM Friday track was Panama City. That is a fact. I am not wrong.
I also state rather clearly that Friday afternoon and evening things changed dramatically, as you also detailed in your post.
Thank you for making the same point yet somehow finding it in your heart to call me wrong. I love FR some days.
