The 11:30 AM Friday track was Panama City. That is a fact. I am not wrong.
I also state rather clearly that Friday afternoon and evening things changed dramatically, as you also detailed in your post.
Thank you for making the same point yet somehow finding it in your heart to call me wrong. I love FR some days.
The Friday 12Z GFLD model run had moved to SE LA. On Sunday when Gov. Blanco was spreading the lie that "We went to bed Friday thinking it was a FL storm, and woke up to find it a LA storm" I went back and documented in a post refuting evidence. There is a graphic link to the computer model projections at around 4pm that shows almost all of the models converging on SE LA. That was available to authorities early Friday afternoon. Search the Sunday night hurricane thread and you'll see that post, and its 5 links to supporting evidence, posted 2 or 3 times.
That there was a Friday morning track of FL is rather meaningless since it shifted to close to NOLA, with the warning that it could shift even further west, just a few hours later.
