Like I said all along. If it hits the western portion of LA, it will drown N.O.

I agree. This situation is not good for N.O. at all.

I just saw your location, Bfez1. Are you getting prepared yet?

[TreasureIslandFLGal]

Think of it this way, if this hits you now, you get to wait another 100 years before the big one hits again.
Seriously though, you guys better keep an eye out on this one and don't delay in evacuating. Especially since Cindy seemed to suprise a lot of folks with her intensity, that was probably the best thing that could have happened to the area now if you are faced with a severe storm. The complacency was shattered and people may actually heed the evac warnings!

Not yet but I am watching Dennis closely. Already have hotel rms booked.

Am going to book hotel rooms this afternoon. If they tell me to go I'm gone.

I really hope Dennis doesn't hit New Orleans, id almost rather it come to houston then potentially kill 100,00s of thousands of people.

I know I was thinking the same thing. I'd hate to see destruction around here, but NOLA certainly can't take it.

If this track continues, we're looking at a MASSIVE evacuation this coming weekend in SE La.

[TreasureIslandFLGal]

Hopefully after Cindy people in the NO area are paying enough attention and the newscasters are hyping it up enough so that people that have transportation issues can start planning now what they intend to do. By the same token, city officials can have a couple of days to iron out their plans for mass evacs of the population.

With the geography and population of the Big Easy I believe their authorities will start recomending evacuations soon. New Orleans is one of those places that is long over due for a big one and with the city being below sea level no one wants to see a big one hit.

It'll definitely rival the one for Ivan last year. And a big test for their new system.

[gkrangers]

This is going to be a huge storm for the NHC. They have to be extremely extremely careful and delicate.

Bottom of the 9th with the World Series on the line....

We can only hope this track does not turn into reality. This is very serious and could get potentially worse if Dennis gets stronger than forecast. Not to wish destruction on anybody else but we need to hope and pray Dennis does not come here. SE LA can not be prepared enough for a Cat3/4 storm by the first of the week. Could 2002 happen again (Lili)? Maybe. 2004 (Ivan) turn to the N and NE at the last minute. Possible. The chances of Dennis going any where else are very good. Chances of him taking this track are very low. Odds in our favor. Thats all I can say for now. Kinda at a loss for words.
