The national hurricane center has regularly updated information. And there's an amazing bunch of photos at this site, from a crew-member of the hurricane hunters - a unit of the USAF that flies C-130 cargo planes into the storms to measure them and track them.
[update here's the satellite view of just where New Orleans is relative to the ocean...]
