I know it's satellite and it's at a slant. But the red part of the storm now encompasses a great portion of Southeast Louisiana, including all of Plaquemines, what looks like Orleans and part of Jefferson, Lafourche, with Terrebonne and my hometown of Houma looking to get some Hurricane winds in the next half hour or so.
On the satellite feed the storm did take a jog to what looks like the NE. But, again, the Hurricane winds look to be crowding up the Mississippi Delta.
The eye of the storm is approaching the mouth of the Mississippi River.
Has anybody got anything on conditions in New Orleans?
