Is anyone else sick of hearing about New Orleans?

Question

Seriously, Gustav is projected as of now to make landfall around the Lake Charles area or somewhere on the LA/TX border.

That is a long way from New Orleans and I'm just sick of hearing about that town.

Does anyone else think that with all the focus on NO, people along the upper Texas coast may be ignoring what could slam right into them and leave NO untouched?

Answer 1

    While I agree that we get the lion's share of the press in times like these, blame it on the media, not us New Orleanians.  The press knows that there will be a good story if Nagin is involved, and he is likely to say something quotable.  If you want more press for your town, elect a clown for your mayor, like us.

Answer 2

New Orleans is not completly over Rita and Katrina! Texas should be safe, but the worst side of a hurricane is the west.

Answer 3

Kathy, I understand your distress about New Orleans, but many people are concerned and worried about New Orleans, due to what Katrina and Rita did to their homes and family. Even though, I don't live in New Orleans; I have family I'm concerned about and friends too everywhere else. Hurricane Gustav maybe the next Rita or Katrina and folks have to be informed about it because it's a crisis; A very, very, very important thing to be concerned about. The only thing, I can say is ignore the questions if you don't want to hear about it. I'm not also worried about New Orleans, but many other states that may be impacted too. There are people on here who are scared, lost, confused, and hopeless because they don't want to lose their life or homes to Gustav; Like Rita and Katrina did. No one knows what Gustav will do, but everyone should be prepared and relax. Have you thought about that for a second? I live in LA and I don't want anything bad to happen here or anywhere else, but "We" have no control over God's weather. Whatever happens; Happens, but with no control. I know Texas is there on the map and people understand that Gustav could make a complete 180 and hit you guys for all we care, but no one knows.
