Yeah lets hope there is no loss of life in this one. The Hurricane is a big issue but the storm surge is an entire issue of its own. Could surge to 20ft!

Too late for that, at least 7 dead in Florida already.

On another note, work is going to be a living hell for me since I work at an alarm company.

Storm surge is predicted to be 28 feet when I read the news earlier today.

YOu know, when we get a foot of snow someone down there will make a post on a car forum saying how bad we have it at that point. ;)

I saw on the tv yesterday some of those 8 lane highways (4 lanes each way) where both open for traffic headed NORTH!

How far is Baton Rouge from N.O.? And is it east or west of it? You realize they are talking total devastation, right? This is due to N.O. being surrounded by water.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.


I have a hard time worrying about it, weathercasters are notoriously overdramatic

Well i hope for the citizens of LA, MS and other surrounding states that it's overdramatic. I don't possibly see how though. This thing is at 160mph and gusting to 190mph right now. It's 105miles wide on EACH side of the eye. It's not gonna disappear. It's only moving at about 12mph north. The damage will be huge. Other than Andrew in 1992, I wasn't even alive when a Hurricane was at this magnitude.
