My plans were to spend the weekend in New Orleans after the game. Depending on what happens with the storm and evac...what are some options of things to do for the weekend within a 4 or so hour drive of BR?

well it depends on where it hits. we dont know if its going to bama or texas right now so your best bet would be to go north. nothing that touristy up there though. monroe? shreveport? arkansas?

Well, you should change your "sphere of interest" to distance in miles, not hours - as your travel times may increase quite a bit depending on traffic.

I'm gonna suggest Dollywood.

you could head east to the Florida pan handle...try Destin...but the storm might be large enough that the weather will still be cloudy/windy there...

Bullsht, you're coming down for the Southern Decandence festival and you know it. You are going to see more wangs in banana hammocks than you've ever dreamed of. I'm sure they'll be someone down there willing to protect you from the storm.

Seriously, there isn't that much to do around BR. LSU is the only redeeming quality of the town...place with be boring as frick without it.

If you are a casino person, there are many in LA and MS, even up north.

I'd imagine rooms would be very limited, but for some, rooms aren't exactly necessary.

Experiencing a hurricane should be entertainment enough. Might I suggest buying a kite.

I'd recommend heading for Atlanta, you're half way home and plenty to do and way outta harms way.
