It will be the strongest hurricane to hit NOLA in recorded history. I dont understand these comparisons to Katrina. Aircraft are reporting data similar to Maria in the last hour as to storm structure. Im watching news stations in NOLA and they are really not hitting the pedal on this storms potential. Ive been in over 20 canes including Hugo and Andrew. I hope im wrong but this is a wind cane like NOLA has never seen. This isnt a weakening cat3 like Katrina
