Not sure if this was meant for someone specific, but I and other S2K folks are here in New Orleans with our families/friends and not evacuating. I do have friends who left or extended vacations out of town to avoid the storm. We have many streets and neighborhoods that experience minor flooding during heavy (but normal) rains. If I lived in one of those areas and had young children or other vulnerable folks in my household, I would have considered leaving, but for convenience and comfort as much as safety.

Sue,
Thanks very much for your reply. So, it sounds like you're saying the flooding will not be anything near as bad as Katrina. I was overly worried because the river is already supposedly close to overflowing its banks and there could be 1-2 feet of rainfall in addition to storm surge.

Obviously in a larger gyre.
Need to really look at this on Rapid Scan

This is just my personal opinion: flooding events tend to be worse than forecast. For tropical systems, I always assume the worst. Based on what I’ve seen, if I lived there, I wouldn’t chance it. It’s a catastrophe that’s being prevented by a shoestring network of canals and levees. They have failed before and will fail again. With the river already at bankfull and the storm hasn’t even started yet...I’m pretty worried about New Orleans. No way I’d stay inside that bowl.
