It looks like Isaac is headed to the East of New Orleans, it's on a path similar to Katrina, a hurricane that devastated NOLA 7 years ago. The big difference this time is, while Issac may do a ton of damage to New Orleans, Mississippi and Alabama, et al (manly from the storm surge & flooding) they're much better prepared. (NO has had a $14 billion upgrade to its levees and pumps) Plus, Issac is not expected to be as strong as Katrina and New Orleans could dodge a bullet if Issac makes landfall further to the East more in Mississippi.

Issac is due to make landfall Tuesday afternoon/evening, as a cat 2.
