Florida Hurricane Fun in New Orleans..

#1 Postby Sean in New Orleans » Mon Sep 06, 2004 11:07 pm

...showed a bunch of people from Florida (evacuees) in New Orleans. Had a little party in Pat O'Brien's and showed the Florida people gulping on their "Hurricanes." They all seemed in very good spirits. Showed other shots of them walking around the French Quarter and hanging out. It's good to see people make the best of bad situations. Did show one couple at a hotel who were concerned about having to be here for possibly another week. The lady seemed concerned about running out of meds and cash...

Yeah I am just saying who knows where Ivan will go. New Orleans certainly is not off the target list.

No, we are not--I'm much more concerned about Ivan, now, than I ever was for Frances or Charley. There is NOTHING that will be around to block this system from affecting the North Central Gulf of Mexico.

The hope for you is a Charley type scenario, but I don't think we will have an anomolous trough as was the case with Charley, that will make it turn real sharp, this one will probably have to be wrestled with to get it to turn, so N Gulf seems possible.
