Houma is a ghost town;expecting 6 ft of water; only 50% of people left-very disappointing;squalls coming through;south Lafourche parish expecting to be flooded and uninhabitable;2200 people in Houma in shelter--not enough people have left; conditions rapidly deteriating; unbelievable storm surges expected; very few structures wil be able to withstand this.
I'm online with friends in Houma right now who were too stubborn to leave. They really don't think this is a big deal at all. It's too late for them to get out now. I had hoped they would listen to reason.
The eye of Katrina took a jog to the north, then back to NW. If the eye passes W of New Orleans, worst possible news. Right now the eye is moving as though it will pass directly over the city.
