It would be a horrible storm no matter where it goes. Everyone's concentration is on New Orleans right now, and if a major hurricane struck - anywhere - I don't know if there are sufficient resources now to help anyone who would need help afterwards. Granted, it certainly looks like the probable soon-to-be-TD15 will not be near the intensity of Katrina when it crosses the peninsula - if that's where it heads. One can only hope that the water is really icy in the Gulf now.

I really wonder why the NHC is waiting until tomorrow to send a recon into this system - it looks as if it could even be classified as a depression now, albeit a disorganized one.
