Answer 4

people started leaving two days ago, honey...

Answer 5

Hurricane Gustav will be a level 4 at least, maybe still a level 5 by the time it reaches Sulphur. It is still possible your area will bear the worst of it. You should evacuate if it's possible and you should probably listen to the radio to see what the evacuation traffic is like before making up your mind when to leave.
