The news this morning sounded like a promo for a bad made for television disaster movie.
New Orleans 12-18 ft under water? Say it ain't so. Hope any of you N.O. dudes and dudettes are ok.

Good luck to everyone there. Don't be a hero and try and ride it out.
Keep an eye from here:

AAAhhhh... Hope this doesn't cancel the week long vacation we are going on..... I mean the Macromedia MAX conference in a month.
Hope it works out alright for 'em!

That does sound horrible. I love NOLA... Razoo's, drinking, grits, drinking, The Red Room, drinking.... I don't want anyone to get hurt, but that city needs a good cleansing, cuz it smells like piss for about 3 months after Mardi Gras. Hopefully the water will flood the detergent aisle at the grocery stores and leave the Big Easy smelling so fresh and so clean!

Point5,
Actually, if the city floods like they're saying, it's going to be submerged for a few weeks at least in sewage, industrial chemicals, fire ants, snakes, etc.
Doesn't do much to "cleanse" the city as far as I can tell...

And it's funny how they tell people staying there to "Evacuate Vertically" as in go high up in buildings.
As if being 30 stories off the ground in a VICIOUS HURRICANE WINDS AND RAIN AND DEBRIS is any better than being at ground level!! :D

and i just moved out of there.
the funny thing, is there is only one way out of neworleans, and it is a known fact that if there is flooding, that one interstate will be submerged. the city knows this! buth the city is so damned poor they cant invest the time and money to fix it.

it would be an interesting study to see where everyone fleeing New Orleans actually heads to. I mean, how do you disperse 2 million people?

Well, scientifically/geologically speaking, the US Army Corps of Engineers have been holding back the waters of the Mississippi Delta for many years. NO is a city that should be underwater. One reason that the place got a haunted/voodoo name, was because of the fact that dead bodies used to rise up due to density differences.
It's freaking below Sea Level.

Everyone started fleeing yesterday afternoon. I sat through ridiculous traffic on the way home. I'm in Baton rouge (about an hour away) and people are trucking through here by the thousands.
Check out I-10 west bound from New Orleans into Baton Rouge: http://www.2theadvocate.com/traf…

The Interstates and Highways have been like that since yesterday when Ivan took an unexpected left.
How does anyone expect a hurricane to go either way?

*keeps fingers crossed
fortunatly we don't have any hurricanes here, since most of the Netherlands is below sea-level.
we used to have floodings here killing over 1300 people, since then we built an enormous water-defense system.
which does the job quite well...
not sure about these sorts of hurricanes though.
best of luck to all over there!!
