Could be even worse than Katrina, because Katrina came in on the east side of New Orleans so the dirty side was over in Mississippi (which got leveled, way worse than anything Louisiana saw that day).  It was the storm surge and levees failing that made Katrina so bad, and that danger is still there, but this time New Orleans also looks to be getting the dirty side of the hurricane.

This is really bad.  My buddy in Baton Rouge decided a couple of days ago to stay home and ride it out, I hope he's okay.  He's been through a few of these so he knows what he's in for, but you never know what weirdness can occur.

right now the only good thing about this storm is that its moving at a very fast pace 16 mph

if it will not slow down too much it will move on inland instead of punishing the coastal areas 

anyway thats the hope
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I texted him, he's in East Texas now, so should be well clear of the storm's path.  They might get some rain from the outer bands but nothing else.

Nobody gave him permission to move to Texas

Read him his rights

He married a Texas gal so I think we can allow it.  He has tacitly admitted that Texas is the more desirable state.

It's now a Cat4, still bound to make landfall with New Orleans on the dirty side.  The wind damage from this in  New Orleans is going to be a lot worse than Katrina.
