The 1:00 intermediate advisory is out, and it shows the same landfall as before - around NO. THAT track has not shifted east.

The TRACK is NOT updated for an intermediate advisory - only the intensity and current position and watches/warnings. The Intermediate Advisory is just that, a public advisory only, not a complete package (which has a forecast and discussion added to it). The track will be updated at 4pm - it may not change but it probably will slightly at least.

ETA:
Every water vapor image I look at makes me think that a turn to the north - not WNW or NW but north - will happen sooner rather than later. Katrina appears to my untrained eye to be becoming elongated north/south rather significantly - and appears to not be expanding at all to the west in terms of the overall cloud pattern over the last two hours. Maybe it is just my eyes.
