save new orleans

Jesus — I hope New Orleans survives this. That’s battlefront-level destruction they’re forecasting. I can only hope they’re wrong.
(For those who have wondered about my family, they’re farther to the west and almost certainly out of harm’s way. But losing New Orleans — and that’s the sort of phrasing people are using, “losing” New Orleans — would be an almost unmatched disaster. Been watching the Weather Channel, and even their guys are so freaked out they’re already 40 miles inland.)

  1. My dad, who relocated from Wichita to New Orleans this year, evacuated to Dallas and is staying with me. It took 15 hours; he left at 9 this morning.
    What’s crazy is that my dad’s the I’ll-stay-to-say-I-survived-it type. I talked to him Saturday night, and he wasn’t leaving. When I called to persuade him this morning, he had already been on the road for 15 minutes.
