Contraflow started one time during an LSU Football game back in 1998 for Hurricane Georges. Storm ended hitting Biloxi on Mon Sept. 28, 1998. but NOLA did start to evacuate on that Sat. night.


Sept. 26, 1998 Baton Rouge, La. #6 LSU 53, Idaho 20 Box Score

In the northern Gulf of Mexico, Georges was forecast to attain major hurricane status and make landfall in southeastern Louisiana. Because of this, portions of the state were evacuated, including New Orleans. There, the Louisiana Superdome was, for the first time in its history, used as a refuge of last resort for those unable to evacuate New Orleans. More than 14,000 citizens rode out the storm in the facility, causing difficulties to supply necessities.

I would cry if the game was canceled. I have been looking forward to this for ages.
