you will not be going to new orleans on monday...i suspect contra flow will begin tomorrow unless the models change dramatically. even if things change in the next couple days on the track....nola will be a ghost town on monday. again..assuming the forecast models dont change much in the next 12 hours.

I think you're right. I just told my husband, who was going to go with me, that he probably won't need to miss work Monday afternoon. I have many dear friends and co-workers in New Orleans, so I'd better start getting the guest bedrooms ready for company.
