I feel bad for the people who will be caught on the Lake Pontchatrain bridge during the storm. Could you imagine being miles out in a lake stuck in traffic why waves crash over you and you are hit with 175+ mph winds? Horrible.

I never liked crossing the Causeway for that very reason. If anything happens to the bridge, and you're in the middle of it, you've got an eleven mile swim in either direction.

You got that right, I was on that once in a motor home and there wasn't even a storm, DAMN scarey, got off it real quick. We thought we were going in the drink.

Is the Lake Pontchatrain Bridge the same as the Causeway Bridge? I'm looking at a cam view of the latter.

I'd assume that authorities will close the bridge down at some point just to avoid that type of disaster.
