The spaghetti models have it going closer to NOLA than the NWS model.
This is what I care about:
Figure that NOLA only received Cat I and Cat II winds (estimated as there is little data on the actual winds due to the widespread power loss) and the levees failed. Now they are more in the upper right quadrant (I'm saying a few prayers that it will track farther west and give 'em room in NOLA)...I'll continue to look at this model closely.
Also, just found out I will be taking off early tomorrow morning to make call outs in the projected path of the storm (did it for Fran, Jean, Ivan a few years back). It will be a good opportunity to fly up to the outer bands (which can be pretty cool from the air) then turn tail north.
