Me ~ Two of the scores of predicted paths go over or very close to New Orleans.
Bullish ~ And I'll betcha' many of the people there haven't learned a damn thing from Katrina.
On Rebuilding New Orleans:
I advocate is turning New Orleans into a giant debris disposal facility. Because of it's location at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi, it is ideally located to accept debris from the entire Mississippi basin and Gulf Coast.
Fill in the entire Crescent City area with enough construction debris, mine tailings, dredging debris, slag, and fly ash to build it up to 30 feet above sea level.
Cover it with 10 feet of dirt, incorporating underground utility grids, a few feet of topsoil, and rebuild on top of that.
Tel New Orleans would become the South's new 'Shining City on a Hill'.
Fund the entire project with fair market rate disposal fees.

Those are outliers, for those not experienced in looking at storm models. This isn’t our storm. There are signs it may come ashore around Brownsville as a TS or cat 1, which wouldn’t be so bad, since SW Texas could use the rain.

It will weaken as it gets closer to land. Just how much depends on forward storm speed.
Since it’s hitting perpendicular to the coast, it won’t weaken as much as it would if it went parallel to the coast for a bit before making landfall.

It’s just a hurricane. Sheesh. Says someone who lives in the desert.
It's easy to sneer at others when you have never lived through what they have to deal with.

The “climate change” pyschos are going berserk over this. Just like every other hurricane, tornado, blizzard, heat wave, thunderstorm, drop of rain ....

"We have to deal with these meteorological expert scares every season here in Florida. In 40 years I think we have lost two shingles off our roof."
Hurricane Andrew did well over $20,000 damage to my house and car in Miami, but that was a bit over 30 years ago.
