The media THRIVES on hype, and what better hype than to focus on a city already reeling from near total devastation! I agree with the "preparation" for ANY year; but I'm not going to let all this panic-alarmist hype send me to the pharmacies for a Rx of nerve-pills... just be AWARE of what's going on... one heads our way... clear out... otherwise, take each day and ENJOY it. Too many people thinking they're on a "road" to happines.... and they don't realize that happiness IS the road! Enjoy it while you're on it!!!

They are wrong. There is no single city that is "top target" this cane season.
I agree, but New Orleans has a relatively bad location geographically because of the way it sticks out into the Gulf at the curve where Texas and Louisiana meet. The location means storms that might make landfall east or west of it may still hit the city. The normal track of storms involves eventually heading east even after a long westward initial track. Storms that turn east along the Texas coast instead of moving inland first, will retain more strength when the pass near or through New Orleans.

Texas and Louisiana meet at the Sabine River... some odd 250 miles or so from New Orleans... do you mean, perhaps where Louisiana and Mississippi meet?? If so, understand that what "sticks out" is Plaquemines Parish, and that New Orleans is close to the same latitude as the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Either way, this "sticking out" is nothing compared to the way Florida "sticks out" right into hurricane alley.
