Hey they had good timing. My sister and her family (the ones in Atlanta) left for Alaska yesterday. They're doing the whole 9 yards, Anchorage, Fairbanks and Denali.
When models showed this storm headed toward Panhandle and then Atlanta, she was a little concerned because they'd be away when it came through.
But by the time they left this AM, the track had shifted west and she felt better about leaving.
Sort of OT, but I was wondering about homes in NO. I know the buildings in the old part of the city look like they definitely won't hold up to strong hurricane winds, but what about new construction...was wondering about the construction codes in NO.
Since we put an addition on a couple years ago, and I started learning about Miami-Dade code, I often wonder about other communities on the Gulf and wonder if they, too, adopted stronger building codes after seeing the damage that Andrew caused.
Has anyone mentioned the nutria?
