Yes, New Orleans is in the crosshairs. Mobile, Houston, and Tampa are also potential doomsday scenario cities, but New Orleans is the worst by a long shot.

And it looks this afternoon as if it's going to happen.

The death toll would probably be enormous, and the economic damage beyond measure.

There is still enough time for forecast conditions to change, but I think that's a possibility, not a probability.

Thanks. I haven't been keeping track of this one. I had heard a couple of days ago about a "tropical storm" hitting Florida. I thought it might actually be a relief for folks there but then I hear "hurricane" and now we have this. Geez.

I know about New Orleans. My hometown (Houma) is just to the southwest in Terrebonne Parish. But wouldn't the "doomsday scenario" require a more direct and northwest hit at the river? Just curious.
