If it hits Louisana, it will be a disaster.
If it hits Texas, it will the 3rd tropical system to hit the state so far. That means a little less than half of all tropical sytem have Texas.
If it hits Florida, record breaking flooding will occur.

Very,very scary situation.

This looks scary indeed...

I for one will show no sympathy if New Orleans crumbles again. People need to get a clue and not live in in giant ditches waiting for it to fill with water. I'm completely empathetic to those who lost a lot and went through a lot during Katrina, but come on people, wake up.

^I agree. Never trust a 18th century French city planner!

Pretty good they are only on G. In 2005, when Katrina hit, well there were a lot more tropical storms that year.

Looks like Louisiana is right in the center of its projected path...

^ not just Louisiana but New Orleans is smack dab in the middle.
