One thing needs to be understood about the people of NO

[angel_luv]

I wish there was some way to help get people out.

My other friend Mo, is out of NO safely. I just got a message from her saying she is in Miami now.

No worries. God will know who I mean. = )

I am happy to hear about your other friend!

Her mom lives in Miami, I told her to come to my house. She said she thought about it.

She said it took her 15 hours not 20.

As for the original post, inner city NO is probably the worst place in the US to have a hurricane of this magnitude hit. I have a relative who was a cop there. He has some pretty interesting stories, to say the least. Hard to imagine a US metro area of its size under water for a significant amount of time, but it's going to happen and it is not going to be pretty.

She said it took her 15 hours not 20.

Travel from Slidell (outside NO) to Pensacola is 7+ hours and has been for 2 days.

Typically that is a 3-4 hour drive. I seriously doubt she made it to Miami in 15 hours.

That is what she told me. Unless outside of Miami.

I heard the traffic was so bad that an hour trip took five hours. so you can imagine a trip of that magnitude with so much panic around. I also am glad that your friend is safe,

It is so sad that so many people around the world are being affected by this storm, all my prayers are with them.

local college girl's team was down in NO for a tournament and said it took them 3 hours to drive 20 miles. After that it was free and clear like Chloe.

So as many here in Texas and elsewhere are talking about all the 'idiots' who aer staying in New Orleans - there is actually a legit reason. Thousands of people cannot get out. Many of those will not ever get out.

I have to agree with Mandy.....the idiots were the ones who could have got out but chose not too.
