Zephyr Field is a minor-league ballpark 7.2 mi W of the city proper, about another 2 mi W is the I-310 interchange, which is the westernmost staging area to get people out.
I saw the storm surge footage at the Holiday Inn and taped it..yikes! Extreme Weather Photographers.
after that, they started re-evacuting.
Probably cause the people on the ground want to get the job done right.
Evacuating govt offices buildings downtown until next week. People in shelter were in parking garage attempting to steal cars. Employees downtown have been escorted out.

Monday return not recommendedOfficials at the State Emergency Operations Center said Thursday morning that Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard's plan to allow citizens back to Jefferson Parish on Monday is not a good idea. The return, they said, would slow recovery and endanger lives. |
Thank you very much for this update.

That is somber news.
Wisconsin and Penna. are sending guard troops already.
Soweto, South Africa?
No...New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
That's exactly what they are.
I'm so very sorry. You will be in my prayers.
This kind of crap can spread quickly. Houston needs to be prepared, too.
I can't believe what's going on. The underpinnings of society are coming off in Louisiana.
Sending soldiers to the front of the Hyatt...
Next person up urging "patience, patience, patience".

Instead of turf how but lake.
They have closed the parking garage in downtown BR. This is really a mess. Keep your gun with you at all times and don't hesitate to use it. If this keeps up martial law will be declared all over this state. Be careful!
Similar in Detroit when a flight crashed at/on I-94. The bodies were being looted within minutes.
Telling other Guards that they must hold the line a little longer . . .
Sounds like a damn Civil War battle . . .
