This is a story worth paying close attention to.. If you look at the map, check the city of New Orleans.. this forecast is being made for August 28 2014. The same date as another famous hurricane hit, Katrina in 2005. Could this be a repeat? The path looks frighteningly the same.. The factors are obvious subject to change, and a hurricane may not necessarily strike in the same fashion —or strength. But this map encourages negative thoughts about the near future in that area..

Here is another forecast map from the Canadian run..

Again.. the map would portend to show a potential direct eye-wall strike on or near the city of New Orleans..

It would be a definite hope and prayer that these maps unfold as false hits.   Best place to go for amateur coverage of INVEST 96L here..

Just as a point of reference..

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina’s peak winds were about 175 MPH or so, and caused vast destruction.. The storm being seen in Australia at this moment may have winds in excees of 183 mph… This storm is larger than Katrina and stronger as well..
