Here are some cam pics from New Orleans today at about 3pm. We'll be able to compare (if any of the cameras survive) tomorrow afternoon.

Your welcome to run over PARAGON.
The only time they get to Us is they have to come up through Galveston in that area. They take a hard right normal when they hit land every time. The jet stream and how hard it is flowing determines most of it. Land weakens it quickly and allows jet stream to push it northeast fairly quickly.
Most people do not know that You can get some of the heaviest rain and storms on the northwest corner above the circular patern. I have really watched these things for years in farming as they can come through and total destroy a guys half million dollar rice crop in just minutes. Nothing you can do about it but, You just watch and fret over it. Was fortunate to only have one devistation in My long rice farming carrer but, I promise you only need one to almost ruin You in the farm business.

Our thoughts and prayers are with every one around the New Orleans area, be safe!!!!!

It's really hitting there now.

Nice prediction there Dirty Cantore, you're fired.

At least the storm is slowing a bit. I must hand it to the weather forecasters, they pretty much nailed it...I thought they would be way off, just like the normally are. Here the only day to count on it the day your in...and that is even iffy at best.
