The governor of Louisiana has already declared a state of emergency just in cas New Orleans takes a direct hit.
Her in Shreveport, La (in the northern part of the state) we are filling up with evacuees from the South. Every single last hotel room in the city is booked and from some people I have talked to who made the drive today, traffic on the interstates out of NOLA is horrendous.
On a positive note, though, Bourbon street sure could use a good scrubbing - I'm not sure even a hurricane can remove that smell.
