New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu and other city officials held a press conference Saturday afternoon (Oct. 7) to provide an update on the city’s response to Hurricane Nate.
The storm’s first rainbands reached New Orleans by about 1 p.m. Nate is expected to make landfall as a Category 2 hurricane late Saturday on the Gulf Coast between New Orleans and Mobile, Ala. New Orleans is on the western side of the storm’s projected path, meaning the city doesn’t expect to see the worst of the storm’s rain and wind.
