For all people in New Orleans that plan to ride this storm out...ARE YOU FLIPPIN' KIDDING?! You're going to chance a category 4/5 storm? I wish you the best of luck and you're in my prayers. Hopefully there are mandatory evacuations all around New Orleans forcing everyone to leave.

We are heading out at 3-4am, have reservations in Memphis... will let the contraflow get well established and the panic seekers out of the way before going.

What a glorious experience doing this with a 35.5 week pregnant wife, right at ground zero - no option but to leave. Fortunately the hotel we have in Memphis is a block away from a NICU-enabled Hospital in case she goes into early labor, but the baby is full-term (4.75-5 lbs) so we will fare ok if the panic/stress/etc sends her into early labor.

Of all the years to have a Hurricane X threat, it had to be this one!!!

We live in Uptown New Orleans. This will be the first time we have even considered evacuating. Unfortunatley, we are leaving some loved ones behind. They remember Betsy well and believe they will be fine. I am afraid they are sadly mistaken. Leaving around 3 am for Dallas.
ANYONE WHO IS CONSIDERING RIDING THIS ONE OUT SHOULD THINK TWICE ESPECIALLY PEOPLE ON THE NORTH SHORE. I just pray we have a home to return to. New Orleans is a great city with great people. They don't deserve to be homeless.

Anyone have thoughts about what may happen in the western most portions of st.Tammany(northshore) near I-12(about 200yards south and 200yards north). I just bought a new home 2 miles from my currently unsold home. I'm really worried about the pine trees.

I hope your right... but that's a very bad attitude to have. Are you preparing at all? Are you in an area that could be flooded if this follows the projected track? Please don't take this lightly.

We are leaving at 5 am in the morning. Just hope I have a home to come back to when this is all over. I really don't want to leave my house.

Sean good to hear from, I m keeping my thoughts and prayers with all my friends today. I have never been so scared from a storm, never. I had a feeling this one would sneak up on us, it did.

I think Gov. Blanco did a great job in getting the balling rolling on the evacuations by declaring a state of emergency yesterday.
