And people in FL think that they've got it rough.  If this happens, at least they could film the sequel to Waterworld there.

It looks like the Saints would be on the road for a while.

The survey predicts that out of the 1.6 million people living in the metropolitan area 300,000 of them are morons :D

Bourbon blues on the street loose and complete

Under skies all smoky blue-green

I can Forksake the dixie dead shake

So we dance the sidewalk clean

My memory is muddy what's this river I'm in

New Orleans is sinking and I don't want to swim

yah but Ivan aint gonna hit the big easy directly, plus they are on the west side of the storm, the weaker side...its turning back east, more towards the panhandle of fla, and we are gonna feel a good chunk of ti here in tallahassee...

I walk outside and it's very quiet. Calm before the storm. A recent sudden movement to the west makes this storm more and more likely to hit the Mississippi River in the mouth. The prediction of a turn to the NE is looking less likely every hour.

of all the tips that everyone gave me, and being in an apartment with no power for 5 days, and a town with no power for 4 days, the one thing i really wish i had during Frances was a GRILL. and charcoal and lighter fluid. Im sure its getting late now, but everyone thinks of flashlights, batteries, etc. The one thing that sucked the worse (after of course the threat of immenent death) was once the storm was over, PB&J sucks after about two meals of it. I had friends though, that were eating like kings. So long as you have a cooler packed with ice, everything will stay fresh for 2 days or more. And you can cook ANYTHING on a grill. They made eggs for breakfast (on a pan, smartasses, no they didnt fall through the grates :D ) , of course meat, etc, and COFEE. Just boiled the water in a pot on the grill and dumped it through a coffee filter.

 

just my $.02.

 

The storm sucks. Being without power for days on end sucks worse. Good luck all.

What Ramius said. Mobile Bay looks like ground zero at the moment, so New Orleans appears to escape the worst case scenario. As I understand it they could have problems from Lake Pontchartrain, but it could be a lot worse.
