Good luck to them. They're just across the bay from where I live...down near Dauphin Island.
my SIL and i had discussed the possibility of hurricanes, but the TD4 hadn’t popped up yet when they were leaving. Hopefully they will have a few good days. i think they are driving back to NO to fly out from there. they actually live in OH. Not sure why they opted to fly into NO and drive from there, but that’s what they ended up doing.
