I agree.  A family in a mobile home in Baton Rouge or Lafayette is in 
just as much danger as anyone living in NO.  I personally think that 
Baton Rouge, aka Red Stick<g>, is in a more dangerous position than New 
Orleans  If you look at the map, you can see that.  I'd bet that Gustav 
shoots up the swamp between Lafayette and Baton Rouge.  If the models 
are right, Lafayette will be east of the eye, which would be bad for 
Lafayette, but good news for NO, meaning it would hit further away.  I 
just wish more folks would use common sense, learn their enemy, and not 
rely on public warnings or advice.  I would NOT want to live in Huoma or 
Morgan City, or anywhere down there, because that is the sure bet place, 
 but further inland depends on the angle of the strike.
I never trust the models.  I look at the ocean temps, the pressure 
systems, geography, and I go on my gut feeling.
Hanna is a non-event. Ike won't be an issue either.  You heard it here 
first..lol...(so what if I am wrong, right<g>)  What's Ike you say... 
Invest 97 out by the Cape Verdes...
