Forecaster on PMSNBC saying the Weather Service would likely have the track a bit more to the east again and landfall actually inside Louisiana... looked to be Cameron Parish.

A seawall built to protect city in Category 3 conditions

If Port Arthur were to sustain a direct hit by a hurricane, officials are confident in the city's seawall and drainage system.

"The Port Arthur seawall was built and designed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers against a Category 3 hurricane," Doug Wright, administrative supervisor of Drainage District 7, said. "It offers protection against a 14-foot storm surge and accompanying waves."

Wright said that although Port Arthur is not assuming a direct hit, DD7 is making all preparations as if the city were in the eye of the hurricane.

The models have a consistent left bias for the GOM storms, with Katrina being the exception.
