The shift North now puts ships in New Orleans at risk. I wonder if they should head up the Mississippi?
Sounds like the US Navy may have to do an emergency sortie of ships around New Orleans to get them away from this sudden Northern shift...
Remember, the North East Quadrant is the most lethal, and Rita appears to be putting New Orleans in its cross hairs...
God speed to all...
The Navy ships assisting in N.O. relief all left port over the last few days, to get out to open sea, where they can ride the storm out safely. They don't go up the river, they go out to sea. And they have done that. They are pros.
