Please help me ya'll. I live in Lafayette Louisiana and was wondering exactly what to do. Now that Katrina is now at 175 MPH and 200 + Gusts. I would like to know can this thing come my way still??? WHat do I do?? If in fact it does hit New Orleans how much damage can I expect??? Please help me.

THANKS and all my prayers go out to everyone within this things path.

you're over in lafayette.. well west of where this thing is supposed to go. winds will probably get to tropical storm force for a while where you are.. the hurricane would have to swing wide to the left to give you hurricane force. you should be ok. maybe power out/tree damage. -HF
