Looks like we’re going to be spared here in Gulfport. They’re saying we’ll have tropical storm force winds and water surge, but that’s nothing we can’t handle.

New Orleans, on the other hand, is going to be on the east side of the storm, the worst part of the storm. 150 mph winds with surge will do extensive damage to the city. Most of the houses in the city are pretty old, like a hundred years old and older.

If the storm will pass quickly, the city might be saved, but if it takes it’s time, the situation will be very bad. I love New Orleans, always have. I don’t even want to think about what life would be like without that city. Light a candle for them and say a prayer for them. They need it right now.
