NO has mandatory evac now. Truthfully, if I lived anywhere from Southern La, Costal MS/AL I would get the heck out of there. You probably have 12 hours of good evac time left. After that, weather starts to get iffy. As far as evac, I would not evac north into Miss or Alabama. NW LA, Texas, Georiga would be te areas I would try to make too. The center of this storm will cause havoc well inland. Best to avoid any evac points that could possibly fall under the center. At this point, grab your papers and a weeks worth of clothes. Taking sleeping materials. If you have to board up, do it NOW. You are almost out of time.

Good luck all.
