girl i can just about imagine how it is right now.it is always crazy around this time.but even if they evacuate everybody,many people are not going to leave.i'm from new orleans and last year they evacuated us.it took 6 hours of bumper to bumper traffic just to get out of louisiana.it was so hectic ad the messed up thing is that the huricane decided to shift and it didn't even hit new orleans.i hope it does the same thing this time because we are so below sea level that the slightest little storm will flood the canals and the streets.i'm just happy i don't have to go through all that traffic!but this is like the wrong time for a huricane.school just started.well i wish yall the best down in my home,dat N.O.!

Thank God, I left home before any big storms hit. I am from New orleans, But I attend ASU in Montgomery. So we will catch the end tail of the storm but my family is heading to north Louisiana for coverage. To everyone stay safe and do what they tell ya'll because them hirricanes ain't nothing nice.

Whats up, I am chiliing up here at SU- its chaotic as hell if you havent heard already. I am from memphis, and I wasnt worried and even if I was there is no way to get home! IT would take aboout 8 hours to get to Jackson, MS from here that only would normally take 2 hours! Be safe

i left as soon as i could, i was so calm during the whole thing., i go to XU, the RA woke everyone up and told us to make plans to leave... now that im home in atlanta i can really see it. anyway you look at it is a bad situation. everything happens for a reason, im extremely blessed to be home right now... and all i can do is pray for those who are left behind, and pray that it will not be mont to the worst case scenario
