New Orleans Dodges A Bullet


New Orleans dodged a bullet -- or so it seems -- and that's great news! New Orleans would have just vanished if another Katrina hit.

Reports so far say a weakened hurricane Gustav closed in on flood-prone coastal Louisiana on Monday, bringing punishing wind and sheets of rain. But the storm veered away from New Orleans, where only a few holdouts and those that refused to abandon Bourbon Street remained.

I was so worried when I saw the original track of New Orleans. I haven't been to the city (ever actually, either before or after Katrina), but I've known 2 people who have spent their vacations down there rebuilding, so I got some second-hand accounts of the scene. It is taking so long to rebuild..another hurricane would have been completely devasting.
