I don't think the eye will land that far west, my "best case" scenario has it passing over Lake Bourgne and then near the mouth of the Pearl River at the Louisiana-Mississippi border. Biloxi will feel it for sure though, 'cause they're in the dreaded northeast quadrant..... I agree that the NHC did a GREAT job on this, they gave people as much warning as anyone could and their forecasts were spot on. EDIT: Still tracking to the NNW, latest coordinates as of 1:00 am CST: HURRICANE KATRINA TROPICAL CYCLONE POSITION ESTIMATE NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 1 AM CDT MON AUG 29 2005 AT 1 AM CDT...0600Z...THE CENTER OF MAJOR HURRICANE KATRINA WAS ESTIMATED BY AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT AND NOAA/NWS LAND-BASED DOPPLER RADAR TO BE NEAR LATITUDE 28.1 NORTH...LONGITUDE 89.6 WEST.
