Saw the terrible (?) weather you're having. I guess as long as you're actually not hit by a tornado it's probably very cool

. Anyhoo, just exactly where is Old Metairie in relation to the coast? I have a US Atlas, but I can't seem to find it...I know that a lot of LA is swampland and that NO is constantly under the threat of floods, due to it's elevation, or lack thereof...Just wondering. BTW, I'm about 9 miles from the coast, so my biggest fear in a hurric is downed trees and lost power (ala Gloria 1985) than surge. Enjoy your weather party
