downtown NO is at 30 90. The closer to 90 it gets, the closer to the center of town it gets.

New Orleans is exactly at 90.0 longitude?

Yes, that's what is confusing me; everyone is predicting a slight eastward movement as the eye approaches shore, so it would seem the eye would need to hit around 90.5 before drifting back. I think if 90.0 is as far west as it goes, the eye hits east of N.O. The bad news is that the dry air over Texas is being pushed back by Katrina, which means the eye will continue NNW.
