The rule of thumb with hurricane forecasting is that the safest place to be is where the storm is predicted to be 3 days out. It never goes where it is forecasted 5 days out.

The way the atmosphere is right now, the storm has a better chance of going west of the forecasted track than going east of it.

New Orleans is far from being out of the woods here. And according the cheif of the Army Corp of Engineers, the leevees cannot withstand another major hurricane. Which means the city could be flooded again.
