it is not going wnw.

I hate that they always wait for official NHC confirmation to change the direction.

This is OBVIOUSLY going nw. Very bad news for La.

We will have to watch this one.

FNC: Texas asks Pentagon to get gas to evacuees stuck in traffic!

I tell you -- some days I think people can't get out of their own way without the government.

And Clinton said the other day that Katrina was a gift because it shows people that we NEED the government. Ack.

Looks W of NW to me....it is just wobbling and stairstepping, but it all averages out.

As was just mentioned in the TX gov.'s news conference, the high that is helping to steer the hurricane more northward is anticipated to lose strength. Thus they expect the storm to at some point resume a more westward course. Lots of variables in play. It will go somewhere between Port O'Connor, TX and New Iberia, LA, and likely between the town of Matagorda and Lake Charles. Can't simply extrapolate based on a few hours movement, things are too dynamic.
