Seriously though... this does look like a biggie and I see your Mayor is
saying you have to take this seriously and forecasters are saying you could
be sitting right in the eye of it when it hits. What do you do (what are
you doing) about something like that? (..and if you reply I hope you're
doing it from somewhere other than New Orleans)?

I'm packing and heading to Tallahassee (closest place we could find rooms).
Category 5 storm, and the eye is projected to come right over my house-
I probably won't have anything left when I come back.

Ah well, it was time to buy new stuff anyway.

The hurricane is as big as the whole bay ffs
http://www.independentwx.com/

Winds 161 Mph, Gusts 196 Mph
Mandatory evacuation etc

Yep, almost fills the Gulf... Just reported sustained winds over
180mph, gusts over 220mph... Looking for a storm surge of over 20 feet
which will overwhelm the levee system... N.O. is below sea level so
it may be catastrophic.... Glad I'm 300 miles west....

Good luck, mate. I've just seen them announce the compulsory evacuation. Take
care, hope it turns out better than you expect. Lives are more important than
things.

A 3 is nasty enough, 4 is time to go visit relatives up state.... 5 is
best viewed on TV. From hundreds of miles away. Did he show up at your
place?

They hired a minibus and went to Fort Worth, Dallas
They are in a group of 17 people all foreign students they left "home" in

Katrina was a dirty dancer man. I wish everyone had gotten out in time
Glad those students did. Happy Thad & Co. are ok!
