the winds will pick up in new orleans. the peak winds expected late this afternoon into the evening. here is the new forecast track from the hurricane center. notice the red line is the center path. almost over the top of holloman. it s the biggest population in southeast louisiana about 32,000 people live there. hopefully almost all are gone. they re protected bay levy but we re not positive that the water will hold back from that levy. i was hearing the levy is at 12 feet high. the storm surge is supposed to be 10 to 15 feet. they re getting hit by the equivalent of a powerful tornado and have to deal with the storm surge and the potential for up to 2 feet of rain. you can t picture a city with a more dire forecast than them now. new orleans on the right side of that forecast path. morgan city on the left side. yesterday we were thinking morgan city could be the devastated area and it s looking like ulna, louisiana.
