Look at the Foxnews deal, the eye is about to hit the delta.
The eye won't be to New Orleans by then. At 1, the storm was still over 120 miles from NO and moving north about 10 mph. There is no way it will reach them by 7am. That is when it will reach Grand Isle which is at the southern portion of LA.

So is the current track of the storm a worst or best case scenario?
Houston hotels are now booked.
Worst.
Expect destruction to be on par with the atomic bomb that hit Nagasaki.
2pac - did your whole family get out?
The bad thing is New Orleans is probably the least capable city in the US to survive such a national disaster. If it's a direct strike, so many people will have no chance.
I'm watchin CNN and this lady was interviewing some lady who came from NO she was in Port Allen on here way to Houston, TX.
The Fox News thing must be messed up. I'm watching NWS radar and the eye is still hours from landfall.
Shut the up dude. No time to be facetious.
Are you serious?
155 mph is the top end of the range for category 4. 156 mph starts category 5. So it's waivering between - and it really doesn't make a difference.
They were out yesterday. Dad and I are planning to get back in on Friday and clear the way for my grandma to go home.
When did it get changed to a level 4?You seriously need to be permanently banned. Maybe when you are an adult, you will understand how big of a deal this is.Mardi Gras anyone?
Manny, just looked closer than it was on the small map.
Exactly.
Typical is for it to slow down, then speed back up.
It went down to 165, then shot back to 175. Its wind - it isnt consistant.
So it's probably in eye replacement mode.
2pac, do you mean the life lost will be up their with Nagasaki or just the destruction to the city core.
Absolutely.
40% chance the Superdome wont make it 48 hours.
Probably 40-60k people stuck in their homes with no way out.
I fully expect for most homes to be completely destroyed, many large buildings and 40-50k people to die.
I'm guessing that after this is over, a significant percentage of the population won't bother moving back.
It seems like they won't have any homes to move back into.
Damn.
Life for everyone is about to change it seems.
The butterfly effect.
There is no way 40-50k people die, let's be realistic. There aren't even that many people left in the city.
Felix - there's supposedly between 100-200K people left in the city.
It's getting pretty bad
Current New Orleans conditions:
Heavy Rain Fog/Mist and Windy
78°F
(26°C) Humidity: 90 %
Wind Speed: NE 52 G 68 MPH
Barometer: 29.32" (992.9 mb)
Dewpoint: 75°F (24°C)
Heat Index: 80°F (27°C)
Visibility: 1.00 mi.
80-100k have no form of transportation.
There will be floods in the entire path of katrina - from new orleans through ohio and the northeast - places that arent used to getting hit by tropical storms.
When Camille hit in 1969, over 100 people died in virginia from flash floods.
Katrina isnt JUST hitting NO - it is 1/5 of the country.
That doesn't seem right.Felix - there's supposedly between 100-200K people left in the city.
Where is that info?
