The cone of uncertaintly is still very wide and uncertain. We are included in that cone as well. From all the reports I am seeing it is too early to know where it is going.
But if you go by the center of the cone it looks to me like La is the prime target, but they keep saying it is too early to know.
I hope ALL of us make it without damage.

Amen, I also live in Louisiana!! My husband went out and picked up things like water ,batteries and a truck load of food yesterday. We have family coming in for the LSU game, he wants nothing to mess up that LSU game sat.
Part of this is prudence; part is media hysteria who'd like nothing more than for this to hit New Orleans for a big story.
Right now, this is a tropical storm heading SOUTH. No one can say for sure where it will end up.
Jindal of course will order the evacuation of New Orleans if this gets in the Gulf as a hurricane and rightly so.
But there is a lot of overreaction at this stage.
My daughter is in New Orleans at Tulane. They will be bused to Jackson State University in Jackson, Ms. in the event of an evacuation.
According to the NHC, it's moving west at 5mph.
Regardless, it probably is overkill to some extent, but on the other hand, if you wait till you have to evacuate, getting supplies, gas, and fighting traffic can be a huge hassle. I'm sure by Friday night or Saturday they'll have a better idea of when and where it's actually going to hit.
I do think it's funny that the media is so focused on New Orleans. First of all, the storm was predicted yesterday as a direct hit on NO, and now the prediction is more toward the east/central coast(LA); secondly, you'd think that NO was the only place hit by Katrina. LOL!!!! Let's not worry about Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Mississippi gulf cities, etc.

My son just called and they are being evacuated off of their oil drilling rig in the Gulf. I believe he is out in the ocean about 50 miles from New Orleans.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

And I'm sure gas prices are going up as we speak!
Doesn't count that the gas in the tanks at the stations have already been paid for at a certain price, but knowing the next round will cost them more they jack the prices up!
