I grew up in Baton Rouge and New Orleans and went through Betsy and Camille and others. Besides the ubiquitous heat and humidity you just mentioned the some of the other reasons I agree with you and now live in Wasilla. BTW just talked to my folks in BR and they have some wind but not much rain. They are without power as predicted. Sounds like the French Quarter might get a much needed street cleaning but not the predicted apocalypse. Never liked the smell there, stale beer and vomit.

Bet it will smell worse before it starts to smell better. Raw sewage infected flood water smells pretty bad too.
