Saints fans are watching closely since they play the Falcons this Sunday in Atlanta. It’s possible the game could be moved to the Superdome.

As of now we're outside the cone, but that could change at any moment. More than once in the 38 years I've lived in Polk Co FL a hurricane wasn't supposed to hit here, and then at the last moment it decided to come through the middle of the state (Charley, Irma, among others).
