Quote: I found the source at another news site. It is a direct quote from someone at NHC,
"Katrina’s landfall could still come in Mississippi and affect Alabama and Florida, but it looked likely to come ashore Monday morning on the southeastern Louisiana coast, said Ed Rappaport, deputy director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami."
I think GuppieGrouper said it well just a bit ago, Katrina can affect places a hundred, maybe much more, miles away from the point of impact. So, if the NO track proves to be accurate, towns in Florida can and will still feel some impact. I believe this is what Ed Rappaport was alluding to, not a radical change of track being implied.
