Pretty much on the coast now and it appears to be a category 3. Seems that Cuba was blasted harder than New Orleans. Depends now on just how badly this compromises the defences given their already weakened / partially repaired status.

Caught the news this morning and it seems that it was not as bad as they feared. Just luck for the people who were stayed as after passing Cuba it calmed down. However when the authorities had to make the call it was a category 4 letting rip past Cuba with more than enough potential to reach category 5.

Seems to have blown itself out. Often they strengthen over water and they rightly had to plan for that or face another Katrina, but this one seems to have done the opposite.
