Yeah, you can really see how far track forecasting has improved in the last 40+ years when you read some of the official NHC statements.  Even after it entered the GOM they thought it was going more toward SW LA.



Here is the estimated windfield at landfall.  My parents were located at about 29.5 90.3 (looks like about 85-90 knots there).
