    We might be seeing history in the making... while we have had two Tropical Storms in the Gulf before, and have had two hurricanes within 24 hours of each other... this may be the first time we have had two hurricanes in the gulf and two hurricanes within 24 hours. Maybe.

    Let's see how many people stay and then complain the government did not save them

    With Katrina, there was talk of moving New Orleans northward; the entire city.
    Now, the powers that be, may wish they had gone through with the discussions.
    Sea walls only divert the water to other communities and towns, which isn't fair to those people.

    If you live below Sea level and don't get out. You get what you deserve.

    It’s not looking good. But landfall being west of the city. Storm surge will hit the north shore of lake Ponchatrain. Slidell, Covington, Hammond, might be in trouble. Minor flooding. Morgan city, Houma, Thibedeaux, the whole southern areas going to catch hell. New Orleans will be fine.,

    I’m in northern Arkansas, it’s my mom and other various family members back home, I’m confident they’ll be okay where we’re located; two hurricanes at once makes me a little uneasy though

    Well, both are smaller hurricanes, if one can say that... and they believe that one might actually disrupt the other so who knows what the actual impact will be.

    hoping everyone there avoids any serious stuff
