Question

How many of you folks will stay and ride out GUSTAV ?

Answer 1

i live an hour north of New Orleans and im staying. a lot of people arnt though

Answer 2

i live in metairie. and they said that we're north of the storm and the storm is going towards plaquemines parish and the river is supposed to protect us or something. so yeah, i think we aren't the ones in danger. remember, we WERE under voluntary evacuation for a long time. they just changed it to mandatory for people to be safe.

but i honestly believe over here on the eastbank will be okay, aside from the wind and 6-12 inches of rain.

i don't even think we'll lose power. and i know some others that are staying. so i'm really not worried :]

EDIT: plus, it's WEAKENING! i doubt it's going to be worse than katrina like others said.

Answer 3

I live about an hour and a half from New Orleans and I'm staying to ride it out.

Answer 4

I live about 2.5 hours away from the coast and about an hour and 45 mins. away from New Orleans and yes we're staying to ride it out. Its not going to be so bad in my city so I've heard. Many people are fleeing here because its closer to their city and it won't be so bad. In my city we're expected to get Tropical Storm force winds which is alike Katrina. I'm nervous about it but I'm pretty sure everything will be ok...

Answer 5

I am, however I'm an hour and a half from the coast. We will still be getting the up east portion of the storm so that's not to good. To all of ya'll staying or leaving please have a safe trip, all of Louisiana is thinking of you!
