If I were in N.O right now I'd walk out of the city via the dirt road that is on top of the levee. It might take some days to reach a place where you could catch as ride, but what else would you be doing?

I believe I read where the mayor was exhorting people to do just that -- start walking toward Baton Rouge if you're able.

Wear boots and take a side arm if anyone does that,,it is a good idea however. The levee is safe. But there are wild pigs, snakes and a few dopers.
