According to the 11:00 advisory, it looks like Pensacola is out of the woods. My heart goes out to New Orleans.




I agree regarding N.O., but I disagree about Pensacola. No one is out of the woods yet. The models drifted back east toward Biloxi/Mobile and that was not reflected in the NHC forecast - if it continues they'll update the official forecast at 4pm probably, and put Pensacola back in trouble.




Update: Visible satellite - 14:15 image shows a tightly packed eye barely visible. Comparing that with the beginning of the loop, the next motion is definately north of due west. It's SLOWLY turning...
