36 hours???

#1 Postby gk1 » Sat Aug 27, 2005 10:51 am

Now that the storm is expected to strike at 7am Monday, the timeframe is closing quickly for Evacuations in SE LA. Confusing thing is, that some residents evac. for Dennis--a storm that was never forecasted to LA. SE LA may only have 40 hours are less. Actually, with squalls and increasing water levels well in advance of the storm--there may be less than 36 hours to evac.

rtd,

I dont mean to discredit your post, but I believe gk is right, they have moved up the time of landfall (especially if it makes a direct hit on NOLA) considerably). Now they are saying Katrina could be in the vincinity of N.O. as early as Monday AM...I'm very nervous for NOLA as I dont feel they have the time to evacuation the city as they should. Plus the Contraflow plan is kind of confusing and will cause problems for some people. I dont want it to come to MS but I dont want it to go to LA either. I just want IT to go away!!!

No prob. I've been up all night (Slept from 4am till 9am) and I must have missed the Updated Time. My apologies to the original poster And YES that Time frame would make a BIG difference.
