Lets suppose the track moves west and the eye stays in the water for the most part. Does the fact that the north side of the storm is over land break the storm down?
Not much, in my opinion. Storm was in an intensification phase as it approaced the coast. Eye is source of energy. N Eyewall will generally be over damp marsh lands without trees.
I lived in that area for a few years.... It's mostly marsh and north of that is mostly swamps..... It's that way pretty much until Laffeyette.. Then it's a smal coastal strip followed by marsh then pasture land all the way to Texas....
