A little off topic but I'll ask the question: I heard from someone that New Orleans is being extra cautious this year and that any hurricane that enters the gulf that MIGHT pose a threat to the area evacuations will begin. Can anyone confirm this?
Can't confirm it but I would be the first to leave even if they didnt have an evacuation. Gonna take awhile to feel safe again after last year.
Considering how little of a plan New Orleans has, who knows? I can't even get an answer from my office about when we will trigger our disaster plan. Just know that we won't rely on pronouncements from the City any longer. I remember watching TV the Saturday before Katrina, and as of 3:15, the scroll across the bottom said NO still had not made a decision. Meanwhile, every other local governing body was at least recommending evacuation.
That being said, Nagin did pull the trigger quickly when Rita threatened. We were in town on a pass when Nagin revoked all the passes. Had to beg my way through one road block, lie my way through another and literally sneak through another to get back to our house to close it up as we had left the upstairs open to air out the water, mold, etc.
