Category 4 hurricane is aimed at New Orleans, evacuation ordered

Projected to become a Category 4 hurricane, the storm would strike 16 years to the day since Hurricane Katrina made landfall there as a Category 3 storm with 125 mph winds near the riverside community of Buras in Plaquemines Parish.

Over at Instapundit, a 2005 post from Brendon Loy is up. Those with long memories may recall that Loy was a law student at Notre Dame back then, and ran the best weather site on the web, purely for fun and because he was a weather nut. He graduated and went on to lesser things, I suppose, but I wish he were still posting. He certainly nailed this one, long before most of the “official” meteorologists.

I think, but I’m not sure, that I read an article a couple of years ago stating that New Orleans really hadn’t done much to fix its vulnerability to hurricanes because there wasn’t much it could do — the place is at sea level, or below, and geography will rule. I hope my memory is faulty, or the article was, because it looks as though the poo’s gonna ht the fan, again.
