Re: Katrina's Forecast Track Shifts West, Northern Gulf Needs to Watch

Will be interesting to see how Katrina ultimately plots relative to Betsy (1965). Though Betsy started much further southeast, the tracks are similar now: blocked while heading northward off east Florida , turns to southwest (though Betsy made a small loop), crosses Everglades and, eventually, makes landfall just west of New Orleans.
