The models are turning north.

From a post on the nola forums (New Orleans local), in response to a discussion about why their local news isn't all over Dean:

"2843. I agree with you by ladyadvocate, 8/16/07 13:32 ET

I remember the same thing. The Thursday b4 Katrina, I remember Bob Breck saying that we have absolutely nothing to worry about with Katrina and we could go to be and sleep soundly not having to worry about that storm. I looked at the weather tracking system that he was looking at and I was like, what the hell? I could cleary see that Katrina was aimed at New Orleans or LA. I wondered what was he looking at. Since then I have been very leery when it comes to local meteorologist forecasts. In fact, a few months back when that tornado struck the Westwego area, he did the same thing. The night before he said that we have nothing to worry about. The next morning it seemed like most of Westwego was torn up and so was the Carrollton area. I don't trust those local news guys. They don't know anything. "
