Nope.  It looks like this is going to hit pretty damned close to NOLA.  Let's hope it veers westward.  If this goes into New Orleans, or even deals a harsh blow sideswiping it, it's going to be ugly.  The housing stock (what's left of it) will be destroyed.  We probably can't count on the French Quarter escaping a second time, which means a major part of the city's economy is crushed.  Harrah's will get flooded, which will be another harsh blow, economically.

Downtown will be iffy.  The Warehouse District was in bad shape already, and it'll get worse.  The Ninth Ward and St Bernard's Parish will be obliterated.

The city's drainage and sewer systems are atrocious under the best of circumstances.  Worst of all, the fucking pumps don't even work properly, because they were apparently put it by Bush cronies
