21. Right, but over the next 24 hours it developed into a "major hurricane".

And started moving toward the Northern Gulf Coast. Hurricane warning for the NO area was posted around mid day Saturday. I heard weather people talking about a likely hit on NO early Saturday and that's when a mandatory evacuation should have been given serious consideration and then ordered later in the day.

Even as early as Thursday, weather people were saying it would move across South Florida and then strengthen in a major way when it got into the warm waters of the Gulf and then turn to the NW - North direction. EG straight for NO.
