>>>> Damn! The forecast is getting worse. Movement north of Galveston will bring more rain and storm surge to NO. Plus, the storm stalling over TX/LA/AR means more water for the Mississippi, threatening those levees at NO. The river levees haven't been the problem in NOLA; they've held fine, and in fact, the river hasn't been the source of any real problem that I'm aware of. At this point, NOLA may be one of the better areas for it to hit. Houston is a problem for obvious reasons (if Houston gets hit Galveston will be totally underwater I suspect). Either way you go from Galveston, you hit major refining centers (Freeport in Texas or Lake Charles in Louisiana). NOLA's property damage is already maxed out save for the Quarter and a couple of other areas. And there aren't that many people left in there.
