If it hits Mobile.....ouch




The scary part is how both could potentially happen. Worst-case for NOLA is an east pass, with the west eyewall pushing Lake P over the levees and in to the city. Obviously, Mobile's worst-case is a west pass, with the stronger east eyewall flooding the Bay. This is looking really, really bad

WEATHER CONTENT: from looking at the NOLA radar, it also looks to me like the eye is moving nearly due-north at this point. In the last few frames there's a dry pocket that formed just outside the west eyewall, let's hope we get an ERC soon.
