I've made a couple of calls - the big one will be to my granddad in the morning. On his word, everyone'll do the right thing.
They'll be OK. I'm just a bit skittish, I guess. I keep thinking about that New Orleans doomsday scenario and wondering if this is the bullet that finally hits the bullseye.

That's good. Too bad few people will notice. It's the weekend and it's time to down a few Hurricanes at Pat O'Briens.
By the time they sober up and get the news, well, nevermind.

Every person I have talked to today didn't even know about the hurricane tracking our way....

Hello,
You nailed the reasons that many in NO will not / can't leave. NO residents are unique: strong - willed and an amazing bunch of people. We love going to NO and the people, atmosphere (and food) are some of the reasons why. However, those that can not leave because of $ to do it and those that will get stubborn in the face of Mother Nature, will be in a world of hurt if this does in fact hit the city. Praying hard for NO and/or anywhere this storm hits.
Glad to be here, MOgirl

I believe this storm will be further east than the models are showing. That's been the trend all yr in the GOM it seems. I would expect some correction east once they all stop shifting west. Of course, that could still put NO in a tough spot. We'll see.

The '03 campaign, and
the lisping bitch's Blanco's current popularity, have convinced me that La. doesn't really deserve Bobby. But I'm still licking my chops at the thought of him knocking off Mary Landrieu in '08.

Durin Ivan, one bar in the French Quarter stayed open and had a hurricane party. Amazing!
To: LA Woman3
I hope you're not in New Orleans, or if you are you're leaving no later than tomorrow morning?

As long as your daughter is in a sturdy building, Tallahassee is a safe place. It's high, inland and no gulf connected rivers or bays. Like all modern cities, developers may have left certain locations vulnerable to flooding. You don't want to be on the ground floor between hills when the sewer backs up. The only major hurricanes that have "cleaned clock" in Tallahassee wear orange and green and come from Coral Gables. Those Hurricanes smash through Tallahassee like a red neck through a sausage biscuit.

We are outside of Baton Rouge. I grew up in Texas, so this is all new to me!

Thank you for the prayers. BTW, I count my brother-in-laws as the stubborn duck hunters who won't leave even if a Cat 5 is bearing down because they have a boat. I don't argue with them anymore because I'm not a duck hunter. LOL! And my apologies to all duckhunters who DO take their families and leave the metro area when a hurricane is bearing down on this area!

Hello,
Oh, I am so sorry that you are facing this. I do understand that many people can not afford to evacuate, and if they can, where can that many people go on such short notice? Your post brought tears to my eyes, thinking of your worry. I wish I could help. Please ignore the stupid media, they are vultures of human misery. As for those that are excited about the situation, I don't think they mean any harm, and perhaps in their interest in the weather, they will help alert others to the danger they face.
Please try to stay safe, if this storm does look like it is heading your way. Still praying for you and all in path of this,
Glad to be here, MOgirl

When jaywalking, how many times are you willing to dodge oncoming traffic?
When do you say, enough is enough, I'm ain't dodging it anymore because I ain't never been kilt yet?
New Orleans is a sitting duck in the traffic lane. Traffic may avoid it for awhile, but some 18-wheeler isn't going to be so thoughtful.

David Vitter's OUTRIGHT win really knocked Landrieu for a loop. No one, her included, saw that one coming. Her re-election bid will very interesting.

I'm not excited about it, but every time a hurricane edges this way I can't help thinking that if New Orleans went bye-bye, the Democrats would never win another statewide election here. :)
But even that's not worth it.

it still has a slight southward component to its movement right now, the longer it delays the turn to the north, the further west its going to come ashore.
To: STARWISE
I spoke too soon earlier when I posted, lost power this afternoon and got it back about an hour ago. We have water again but are warned not to drink any tap water and to boil it prior to using it to wash dishes. I'm still not exactly sure when we will have drinkable water from the tap.
From what I've seen around town is plenty of flooding, many tree's down, including numerous royal palms on Canal Drive blocking the way. We tried to go down Kings Highway but it's flooded out. I heard from a friend on mine with HPD that most of the area around the hospital is either flooded out of had trees blocking the way. The city was out pretty clearing roads.
Most of the farm land in the Redlands is still there, but obviously flooded along with most of the area.
I too took this storm to be nothing, as we were told the entire time Katrina was heading to the E. Coast. Local news was saying Dade would get little, maybe some heavy rains. Last we really heard was that Katrina would make a direct hit in Palm Beach County. Next time I'll take more precautions.

Hello,
Of course you are skittish, NO has been missed for a long time by storms such as these, and it is normal to expect that it can't last forever. I am glad to hear that you are and will be in contact with your family there, and that your Granddad will make sure that the right decision is made. With prayers and good wishes to you,
Glad to be here, MOgirl
