Judging from the webcams, not a moment too soon. Sounds like they are sticking with the 4PM plan.

I saw a special on some channel a couple months ago.
It described the damage and aftermath if anything above a cat 2 hit NO.
Said there'd be no way to get the water out of "the bowl" and the health hazards would be unbelievable, because once the water subsided the mold and toxic slush issues would make most of the submerged property unliveable.
Look at Port Charlotte and North Port. A year later and people are still living in FEMA trailers. And that was just a low population area and without the logistics of NO being below sea level.

Has anyone mentioned the nutria? Recipes? But I don't think even the Cajuns will eat them.

But I don't think even the Cajuns will eat them. Oh... I wouldn't bet on that one. I'm sure somebody has a recipe.

I talk to a buddy on a supply boat in Venice and he said one of the outer most bands just crossed over the top of them. I checked the radar, and sure enough.
They're just starting north up the river and plan on riding it out in NO, or Baton Rouge if it gets too bad.

I heard the same thing about the meat. They can be harvested for their fur...

They tried to foist nutria as a tasty dish but nobody bought it. There's no way I would eat those ugly rats.

We've got a bit of Katrina weather just now in the Tampa Bay area. She's really growing.

There's no way I would eat those ugly rats. Nor would I. I just wouldn't take the bet that NO Cajun would eat it...:-)

A few years back the state put a bounty on nutria tails. Since the beasts are inedible, even to a cajun, you would drive along the roads of south Louisiana and see dead, tailless rats all over the side of the road. A lot were killed, but they breed prodigiously.
