Other than the flooding that will occur, it looks like NO really dodged a bullet.

Here's the latest NSSL Hi-Res Reflectivity Radar overlayed on Google Earth. It shows a practically dry NO as a band of dry air got pulled into the vortex just as the eye passed NO to the East.

However, Gulfport, MS is directly in the worst part of the east eye wall right now and is getting hammered. Just as Mississippi is going to get hammered all the way throught he state as the projected storm paths show Katrina passing all the way from the bottom to the top of the state.

"This is a very fast moving thread,"

Yes it is. Yesterday's seem to follow the rising wind speed for awhile. Dial up here, so I can't really follow all.

CNN reports that the worst is over for NO.

Say what? I just checked the radar loop and the western eyewall, looking very strong, was on the eastern edge of the city and winds are still pushing across Ponchatrain.

msnbc guy just saying that LA governor said the NO levees are not being breached - that it's just water coming over the levees. Someone in Louisiana - please send this idiot woman away from any microphones!!!

That graphic is misleading - the Slidell, LA radar has been knocked offline. That's why you aren't seeing the rain on the west side of the eye.

Don't know if I would want to be on a powerless ship, even a 45,000 ton battleship, in a major hurricane...
