We are outside of Baton Rouge. I grew up in Texas, so this is all new to me!
You're not truly out of the danger zone there for any hurricane, but the danger is minimal. That city is probably a destination zone for New Orleans residents wise enough to leave.
Checking in from Louisiana.
We are outside of Baton Rouge as well. We will definately be keeping our eye on this one!
We are also living near Baton Rouge, Prairieville to be exact, and not far enough away the coast to feel much security. We moved down here last year from Virginia and were greeted by Ivan (which just missed) a few weeks after we got here. We are going to board up on Sunday unless the path shows that we are relatively in the clear.
