AT 5 AM EDT...0900Z...THE EYE OF HURRICANE KATRINA WAS LOCATED BY RADAR AND RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT NEAR LATITUDE 24.4 NORTH... LONGITUDE 84.4 WEST OR ABOUT 435 MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND ABOUT 165 MILES WEST OF KEY WEST FLORIDA.
KATRINA IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST NEAR 7 MPH... 11 KM/HR. A GRADUAL TURN TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
So IF Katrina were to take a straight line for the mouth of the MS River. 435 miles divided by 7mph=62 hours til landfall. That's still looking like Monday Noon. For the Eye to reach land! Wind and rain will precede the Eye by many hours

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
