Will TS Gustav Trigger an Evacuation? Who Knows?
Like everyone else in this crazy town, I’m waiting to see if this storm is going to force us to evacuate New Orleans. They’ll only call for a mandatory evacuation if the storm strengthens to a Category 3 hurricane.
My family is ready to go when the mayor makes the call. We can afford gas, we have a car in good condition, and we have a free place to stay until things settle down.
If you aren’t so lucky, take action now to get help. In New Orleans, call 311 to get help for free, to save your seat on a bus or train out of town, and to make sure you have a spot at a shelter waiting. They have room for 30,000 people, so jump on this if you need help.
To all the people out there with relatives in this region of the country, please call and make sure your stubborn family members are ready and know they’re welcome to crash at your place.
We’re 2 days away from the anniversary of Katrina; we don’t need a repeat. Take care of yourselves, your friends, loved ones, and neighbors before the storm hits.
