Jindal might be the first gov in history to call an state of emergency for a storm that is 4.5 days away and barely 45mph. I think MS has just as much to worry about and they havent followed suit.

Public officials will overreact to this big-time to avoid the "Blanco Effect." Hurricanes have been threatening south Louisiana since the state was created.

Hopefully this thing will continue to be weak, and/or change course- otherwise our officials will have the southeast corner of this state empty by Saturday morning.

have you seen the MS gulf coast? It looks like Katrina hit just a few months ago. There's hardly anyone there. Evacuating the MS Gulf Coast and SE La are two different things.

It's 45 mph right now but that's b/c it weakened when it went over Haiti. When it hits the jacuzzi that is the Gulf of Mexico it's not going to be sitting pretty at 45mph when it's traveling over 85-87 degree water. I will put any amount of money on that.
