Well, if you beleive CNN, and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, NO is a target for Hurricanes because it is full of African Americans.

Honestly, it's pretty darn close to NO. There's definately at least going to be a glancing blow, no matter if it keeps it's N N-W heading or not. Will the levee's hold with the rain they most definately will get/increased storm surge? Hard to say, but NO certainly doesn't need anymore water in any form, we can all agree.

Personally, when I look at the track it's taking, it's definately east of the NHC by a considerable margin. I'm sure the 11am will hopefully correct it.
