Can someone tell me the latest forecast for landfall location?

Right along the TX/LA border. But, as someone else noted, the last three storms jogged a few miles east as they approached the coast. So it could end up right over Lake Charles.

But it's also important to realize that the eye will be 30 miles wide, and bad surge will extend 70 miles east of the landfall point. And the worst effects could well be massive inland flooding in the Arklatex region.

Thank you. We're about 60 miles inland and out of the flood zone, so I feel much safer. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm on dialup but still have electricity. Don't know how long that'll last.
