hyperborea13 said:Katrina hit Florida already on Thursday and killed seven people, then headed to water again and is recharging before hitting New Orleans. Apparently its not going to be quite as bad as was originally predicted, although its still gonna be really really bad.
I just find it incredible how they are evacuating such a huge area. Has anyone seen the pictures of I-10 heading out of the state? They made it one way heading out to the state, and the road is pretty much at a standstill. It looks like a scene out of the movie Independance Day.
Good luck to anyone in the way of the storm.
Well that b/c directly north is the Ponchatrain lake....and south is the Mississippi and swamp....only place u can really go is either east ir west....but in comparison to most major cities....N.O is rather small in population and size....
However, they quote N.O only evacutating 500k. people....the metro area has about a million....maybe just over that if u count all of the rural ares out there as well...
