6:15GMT sat is out The only thing i can say is... wow
I was reading the WWL boards, and there are people (I don't know how much of it is bravado, but saying how they'll ride it out no matter what, and just drive, a few miles away to avoid the worst of the winds....

There's also a debate if the Mandatory evac orders were given or not. The front page of WWL doesn't say yet, and evidently no one local has made the announcement, they've only heard on the weather channel.

I hope people get out anyway, it's not a time to dither around, even if the storm misses you, the term better safe than sorry applies to this storm, perhaps moreso than most.
