Re: CAT 5 160mph!!!!!!!!

Hello from Atlanta....

Spent most of the night listening to WWL-AM's coverage and they have really done a good job on the coverage and opening up the phones for information...Heck, I even called in to let the evacuees know if they plan on coming to Atlanta, they should instead evacuate to Valdosta, Adel, or Savannah...

Just listening to the forecast they were giving from the NHC at about 5am ET, I just started crying because of the damage this storm could cause and hearing the quote from the police chief saying "we don't have enough body bags if people stay and not evacuate....

If you're in the evacuation zones, even the voluntary...GET OUT NOW AND HEAD WEST TO TEXAS OR EAST TO JACKSONVILLE!!!!

And for those of us who are not in the zones in NoLa, let's all stop and say a prayer that something, anything happens to this storm to guide it away from Downtown NoLa......

Take Care..

Jeff
