Tomorrow is where the going gets really tough. If they stick with a forecast with New Orleans in sight, NO needs 72 hours evac lead time.

Twas a mess last year. They have cleaned up some of the problems.
The 1-10 was a parking lot from New Orleans to Baton Rouge.
For some reason, nobody cut across LA-30 from Gonzales to Baton Rouge so I was still able to go to work, but I think it was taking 12 hours to go the 70 or so miles from NO to Baton Rouge.

"NO needs 72 hours evac lead time."
A weekend arrving hurricane is somewhat advantageous in that most people won't be filing out of their workplace and hitting the roads in unison when local officials order evacuations.

Hello,
My husband and I visit NO at least 2 times a year, we were there last Thursday (drove over from Gulfport). I can not imagine a Cat 3 - 4 hitting that city, the devastation would be unbelievable. I also think that many in NO and especially the Quarter would choose to "ride it out" or would have no way to get out. The number of deaths from such a disaster would be shocking. Our prayers are with everyone who is in the path of this horrible storm.
Glad to be here, MOgirl
