(Many DU'ers will remember being logged in as Katrina approched NO's three years ago...where he urged folks to get out predicting "major loss of life, flooding and catastrophe." Maybe a he is a "Broken Clock" ..but maybe, once again this "Progressive" is correct. He's a very good guy who tried to save the lives of thousands the "first time." What if he's correct once again? :shrug:

Time to leave New OrleansIt should go without saying that it's time to leave New Orleans. But, I'll say it anyway: It's Time to Leave New Orleans! The risk of staying in New Orleans is unacceptable. This is a huge and dangerous storm that has already killed a lot of people. The projected track and strength of Gustav is very close to that of Hurricane Betsy of 1965, the Category 3 hurricane that overwhelmed New Orleans' levees, and killed 76 people. Get out now.
