Thanks, Ted. I can't leave my wife behind, and she has faith in God that
we'll be safe. I don't see any of us dying. We may lose a roof, but we
are on high ground (relatively speaking). I'm below sea level, but I
have a second floor. The problem with evacuating is that the freeway is
moving at 5 mph and there is very little gasoline anywhere down here. If
I lived anywhere else in New Orleans, I'd have left. Most of my
neighbors have no cars and cannot leave. There is Live Oak Middle School
about 8 blocks from here. If I lose my roof, we will probably trudge
down there.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Jeffery,
Like others have posted, leave if at all possible! Don't try to second
guess
Mother Nature! Certainly this time. Why! Simply because we are
experiencing
weather conditions around the planet like never in the past or as
violent
these days. Quite often fooling even the most experienced weathermen and

their electronic gadgets.

In the event you stay and as callous as this may sound under the
circumstances...... make sure you get pictures! Certainly without
endangering yourself.

May the Great Spirit give you and family comfort and safety.

ted
