Yes, it's below sea level. Don't even want to think about how long it would take to evacuate the place....and how many people might be stuck in traffic when the thing hits.
It's frightening. Just thinking about trying to escape something like that makes me feel ill. I hope they're wrong about where it hits.
When is it supposed to make landfall?
Yeah, I should just go read about it myself.
Even with I-59 made into four lanes ALL going North, it would take HOURS to get everyone out! There would be a HUGH bottleneck on the bridge over Irish Bayou. That's why there are so many 'false starts' when hurricanes are headed their way, and why so many people simply ignore the early warnings.
