another problem is that now there are no hurricane shelters south of I-10 except those of "last resort". This was done since a slow 3 or fast 4 and 5's would bring massive flooding. Not sure I agree with this policy, but they expect everyone to evacuate. We are looking at 12-15 hrs. to get to Baton Rouge from our location.
Steve - if the storm comes your way, do you plan to evacuate to the Superdome, eat hot dogs, and maybe bring home some free furniture?
