God I hope not. This thing looks to be heading right for New Orleans. Maybe a tad south of it.

They are coming through Shreveport by the thousands....I've been visiting with them ALL DAY!!!!

We don't have toll booths......I'm a Shreveport Greeter...
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 12:06 pmNo wonder the French sold us the state for 23 million. Every year the place loses more coastline. Are there any major resouces in Louisiana besides crawfish?

Since they are getting ready to drill on our properties at any time, I would say OIL....alot of it recently!!!

If they wait a few more years , it will end up being offshore drilling the way the coast is eroding.

Don't know about resources but they sure do refine a lot of oil there. Can you say $5 gallon

Hanging in here in Baton Rouge. Wind has definitely picked up in the last 30 minutes or so, as well as the rain.
Storm is weaker than Katrina, but we (and New Orleans) are on the "bad" (east) side of the storm. Much more rain and higher wind gusts on this side.
Just hoping to keep electricity through the night...

In all seriousness, to all our friends here that are in it's path, be careful! Get someplace safe, and I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 12:33 pmMake sure you have desalinization tablets, spam with the pullring top, candles and a waterproof zippo. I think you'll be fine.
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 12:35 pmThe Democrats will probably get blamed for the hurricane, too.
Anyway, everyone I know is praying for our fellow Americans.
