If you know anybody there, tell them.
Otherwise, pray. I posted on my blog a request for prayer. That seems to be all one can do unless you are close or know somebody there.
You are so right about Gov. Blanco. She is an idiot. I pray she hasn't caused people to be complacent and stay in New Orleans. I heard her on the radio and got so mad I almost beat my steering wheel to death!!!
I'm flying from Houston to Mobile tomorrow afternoon on an Embraer ERJ-145. I wonder if there might be some risk for problems?

What about I-12 and below evacs? I am confuzzled.
Very scary--good find.
It's actually SUPPOSED to be heading NW tomorrow.
There isn't a single model with a landfall west of Eastern Louisiana and Katrina is already significantly N of that one...
Once you get a strong, well developed storm, really the model consensus these days for a 48 hour forecast is never so drastically wrong so as to have Katrina hitting Texas.
Hi NautiNurse,Thank you for your work on these threads.I am following down the shore.We are in Ocean City New Jersey for the weekend.
What has Ronnie Hughes or whoever is in charge of Ascension Parish saying?
He's helping some older relatives secure their property and then will be bringing them to our house here in Acadiana. And hopefully we won't all have to evacuate from here because we've made no plans. That's why I've been here with you guys, so I can give him the best info. Told him how prime the highways are looking right now and hopefully, they'll get out of there within the next hour or two.
adults steppin in. mayB LA could rent jeb
Shouldn't be a problem if it's not too late in the day. Will keep an eye out for winds picking up. This storm has really grown in size today, with winds in excess of 34 mph extending outward 160 miles. Will also need to watch for feeder bands.
You are so right about Gov. Blanco. She is an idiot. I pray she hasn't caused people to be complacent and stay in New Orleans. I heard her on the radio and got so mad I almost beat my steering wheel to death!!!

Unreal (amazing)
Good point!
St. Tammany Parish....south of I-12....Lake Ponchatrain is expected to have large storm surge.
weather channel just said the mayor will make a decision rather to evac. NO tomorrow morning..WTF?....way too late
oh shoot. I am in ascension below I-12. Was wondering if they were going to make me scadaddle.
See radar photo on Drudge site. This hurricane is so huge, it appears to have two eyes! And it's pull is so strong you can see in the latest radar photo how great it's pull is, pulling in clouds(strength) from the Atlantic ocean and even on the west side of South America !! IMO, people in New Orleans NEED to evacuate now. Your supplies won't last the time it will take for the water to go down and electricity to be repaired, etc.
