That’s because they didn’t New Orleans was built on the tallest hill in the area but due to the city of New Orleans deciding to turn all the surrounding swampland into more New Orleans by pumping the water out of the swampland then building on it the gound slowly started to compact and now the entire city at risk of being flooded if a Levee ever breaks. That Gentility Ridge in the picture you posted used to be 80 feet above sea level.
Don't put too much faith into a single model. I mean it's still reason for concern, but more than likely it's still going to hit the Tampa Bay area and stay pretty well clear of the Big Bend.Yesterday, I made a joke post showing the hurricane going 90 degrees northbound into Tallahassee and up through the Carolinas.

Uhhh.... Low. IIRC State Farm and AAA have already pulled out of the state entirely. After Helene and this storm I wouldn't be surprised if another insurer takes a huge loss and pulls out.So if this does hit and ravage Sarasota while doing major damage to Tampa, what is the chance that insurance will be available next hurricane season?
