Most of the computer models show it heading on the path this map shows. NO will be on the right side of the storm; with a new moon to help the tides as well.
What kind of shape are the levees and pumps in?
"The GFDL is the fastest, bringing Gustav to New Orleans on Sunday afternoon. This is a plausible forecast, but at this point, virtually any point along the Gulf Coast has a roughly equal chance of a direct hit by Gustav.
"Which set of model should we trust? I plotted up the errors for some of the computer model forecasts made during Fay. While Fay was over Hispaniola and Cuba, the GFDL model made the best track forecasts, among the four main models used by NHC: GFS, GFDL, NOGAPS, and UKMET. This makes me more inclined to trust the GFDL model's forecasts for Gustav, since Fay and Gustav are similar storms."

If so, I'm going to be watching to see if the dastardly Dems try to impede Jindal's evacuation and rescue efforts. They will try to use this against the Repubs....again. Roll the dice, and good luck. We could use the remnants in AZ, if it decides to drift this way.
We got Rita 3 weeks after K. hit NOLA...and had to evacuate for a month. Had a tree on the house...hope not to go thru that again.
I don’t think anyone is SE LA is going to try to impede anything. I’ve been on several boards focusing on that area, and they’re all scared to death. If anything screws up, it won’t be because somebody’s trying to score political points.
