TWC just said that they are expecting her to make a more northerly turn some time today. Also said something to the affect that, that will determine where she will make land fall. Ofcourse we have expected that turn all along, maybe not as soon as they originally thought. Although if she does turn sooner, it still does not help matters much with New Orleans. At this point it looks to me like it would have to be a drastic north east turn for the North Gulf coast to be in the clear. Even then they would still see significant effects from the storm because it is already so close to the coastline. This is just my take on it. No matter when it turns it is still going to be devastating to so many. This storm is so huge and powerful. It absolutely amazes me. I just pray that no matter where it goes that everyone is safe. It will affect such a huge area whether it moves east or west. So many states... Even cities like Atlanta(if it were to make its turn sooner) when a storm like this skirts along side of this city, the flooding is devastating. My prayers are with you all!!
