I know that the latest official forecast still has Katrina passing directly over New Orleans, but haven't the computer models now clearly shifted to the east? Isn't it probable that the next forecast will predict landfall on the Mississippi-Alabama border?

haven't the computer models now clearly shifted to the east?Yes, and that is why everyone in the northern GOM should be watching this storm closely.

I've messed with a bunch of computer simulations for New Orleans based on storm angles and intensity. Horrifying is too mild a word, but I don't have another one handy.
Here's what NOAA thinks will be the situation at St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans after a Category 4 storm.
You can watch the Quicktime movie of it here
Some of the models suggest far worse than that.

St. Charles Parish info....
If you need transportation out of the parish, call 985-383-5050. There will be buses leaving today at 5:00 PM.

if you look at the map of GOM depth the deepest water is just south of LA and goes up to almost to the coast..versus the shallow shelf water in the NE gulf..
opal and lilly were both OCT storms with SST much lower and lots of cool/dry air around..no sign on that here in late aug..
SST temps are at their seasonal peak and 2-4 degrees above that even
with the great outflow....insanely warm SST of 88-91F..deep water..no dry air..and weak shear...no reason for this thing to weaken...best hope will be an eye wall replacement cycle at landfall
plus look at the size!!!
NO will start to feel the impact of this way before landfall
To: LA Woman3
Thank you very much for the local updates.

Does anybody here know any nifty voodoo chants we can use to make this storm die?
To: Dog Gone
I have an ASTM meeting to go to in NO in December.... think they'd get cleaned up by then? Wow.... it may finally happen...

It recovered and then flooded again in 1995, I believe. The Army Corps of Engineers just finished re-doing the levee last year. Government.

Does anyone have any streaming television stations that WORK from New Orl?
To: NautiNurse
Wow. You've got a lot of good stuff on this. Thanks for the links. Fortunately, in NY, I won't have to worry about her unless it's in the form of alot of rain next week.

The NHC track still has a cone of uncertainty covering four states. The 11AM update removed the extreme western portion of Louisiana from the cone.

To: silentknight; mhking
mhking provided the streaming links noted above with the caveat they would not all be working all the time until the storm moves closer to landfall. He also assured us he will provide additional links later today.
Meanwhile, if you find additional sites, please let me know, and I'll add them to the next thread.

My nephew told me that the further north a hurricane goes the more east it wants to go. It is possible that it could shift east but the other influencing factors are causing it to go west. I have also heard that when a hurricane gets that big, it can overwhelm any other influences and goes where is wants to.
To: Dog Gone
OMG. My thoughts are with the people in New Orleans. There is no way they are going to get everyone out, for many reasons.
People won't all leave..i.e, the homeless sleeping in alleyways , because I read that the French Quarter will cease to exist.
I hate being an alarmist, but OTOH, we have to face the facts.

I'm posting this
EVACUATION ROUTE info that Ellesu had posted earlier. I don't think this can be repeated too many times. This is a powerful hurricane and it will affect a wide area. Now is the time to get out.

Thank you. They mentioned on the radio they are waiting to start the contraflow in New Orleans so that the lower parishes can get out first.
