It seems as though New Orleans gets whacked by a storm (including The Storm) on the same dates at the end of August. However, Cassandras worried about Hurricane Danny blaming NOLA amidst the K10 commemorations can revel in some relief. The National Weather Service (NWS) says that Danny is weakening.

Though Isaac's cold rains and wind are still with us, New Orleans is now below the storm. The center of the "weather event" is about 70 miles northwest, close to Baton Rouge. Forecasters mostly believe that means the rains will be with us into Thursday. Around 8:00 tonight, the storm was downgraded to a tropical depression.
