2. Look at this picture.
From what I can tell, it is still headed for New Orleans.

5. Couple hours away.
WWLTV.com N.O. is reporting the re-stregnthening of the storm as the inner eye wall is collapsing and being replaced by a stronger, larger eyewall. Also it is possible according to their report at 9:30 that N.O. may take a direct hit, based on recent motions of the storm. There is a chance it will hook to the east of N.O.. The storm's eye is now within their 300 mile doppler radar.

7. Just east of New Orleans is a very bad scenario.
That maximizes the storm surge from Lake Pontchartrain.
