They've dodged so many bullets before. The things have always turned. Usually, in these discussions, others and I always fear the worst -- a direct hit at New Orleans. In the past, others more knowledgeable have pointed out that the storms would go elsewhere. I'm not hearing or seeing that this time and the fact that the governor didn't sound alarmed and the fact that The Quarter is active and that most are not leaving is scary as hell. This... just... isn't... good at all.

The same thing happen in the years before 1992's Hurricane Andrew for South Florida..and well, the rest is history.
