Original Update
Hurricane has made landfall in Southeastern Louisiana, just south of Buras, as a Category 4 hurricane.
This is about 70 miles south southeast of New Orleans, the center crossed around 6:10AM CDT (7:10EDT).
Katrina has weakened some overnight as dry air encroached in the western eye, lowering it to a Category 4 system. The worst will be felt in New Orelans and points east over the next several hours.
Since it's near the mouth of the Mississippi River, effects from land weakening won't be as pronounced, and the dry pocket to the west has begun to fill in, however it will keep the storm from strengthening any more as it crosses inland.

thanks for the new thread mike...of course she is still a monster, but thank god (for new orleans) that she took a much more northward turn late last night or they would have taken the NE quadrant...of course, the shift east means areas east of NO are now going to take the worst of it... 
the worst is still to come too

--repost from the old thread--
FYI, it appears that the primary tide gauge at NO guage for Lake Pontchartrain has broken. Here's the raw data from the backup gauge:

Just heard on an NBC interview with the Mayor of New Orleans that water is already coming over the levies. This was a quote by the mayor.

WAPT in Jackson is streaming it's coverage. The have a reporter doing a live report right now from the SuperDome. He has just reported that something on the roof has given way and water is now coming into the building from the roof. He said people are moving from the stands to more protected areas. The reporter said he is very nervous and has covered storms for many years. He just said he can feel water falling on his head. Like a sprinking now, but getting heavier. It is only in one section of the Dome, but it is very worrying. "People are trying to remain calm. They are trying to make their way from the plaza level to where the concrete reinforced concessions are. The sprinkling is now more like a thunderstorm getting ready to come."

Yes and the next several hours will be the worst, with the strongest winds blowing water over the levees from Lake Ponchatrain into the city (guess I'm now familliar with the doomsday scenario).

I am trying to keep myself calm realizing the worst of the storm is in front of us. We all knew this was going to be very, very serious.

WWLTV in NO has a live feed:
http://www.wwltv.com/perl/common/video/wmPlayer.pl?title=beloint_khou&props=livenoad
With the movement to the NE, I wonder it the track will be adjusted at 11. The models now do not show a NE movement until the storm gets into the middle of MS.

People are surprised about the superdome? Lets remember that it's just a skeleton with a thin cover on the top.
Point of note: once the leading edge of the roof is compromised, the roof essentially turns into a big balloon...capturing more and more air as more and more of it tears off...

A gust over 100 in Pasco Beach already. Guess my brother is either pretty busy or possibly trying to snatch some sleep before the brunt of the storm hits, because I haven't heard from him since he went on duty last night.
1245Z vis sat image very impressive
From the 8am advis: "the center will be passing just to the east of New Orleans during the next few hours with the worst of the weather for that city occurring over the next couple of hours. The center is expected to move into southern Mississippi later today."
It looks like the weather will be bad for MS Gulf Coast as well the next several hours...and then the storm will arrive.
