Re: Hurricane Warning Up Morgan City, LA to FL/Alabama Border

"By the way it strikes me as kind of odd that the NHC/TPC has extended a tropical storm warning eastward to Destin, FL well east of the forecast track error cone!"

Not really. Tropical storm force winds extend 160 miles out. If Katrina struck on the East edge of the cone that's about the same distance to Destin.
