Looks like it's getting drawn straight up. Look out New Orleans.

RE: Looks like it's getting drawn straight up. Look out New Orleans.

Yup. That's my best guess at this time. Worst case scenario is a hit on or a little west of the Big Uneasy.

Remember the northeast quadrant of a hurricane has the highest winds and storm surge. Unfortunate test of their levy and "storm wall" system may be underway soon.

I signed up on FreeRup today to comment on the storm. Was lurking the last couple of weeks. Took me awhile to figure out the shower and series thing.

Great group. Glad to be here. I'll watch my spelling though!
