I just saw that Nagin has issued the evac order for NOLA.

Stay safe, our New Orleans ladies (and men and families).

Yes please heed the evacuation warnings my gals in the lower parishes!!

I'm from New Orleans but now live on the Northshore of NOLA...I'm not evacuating though so wish me much luck!!

My very best thoughts are with you Diva.

Prayers for those in harm's way.

We're in Lafayette....staying for now.....everything is boarded up and we're riding it out.

Why are you guys staying?
Good Luck, we will be thinking of you!
Do you think the storm will reach northeast Texas near Shreveport?

I'm in Memphis...I'm thinking of all of you down there!!

My old roommate works for Nola.com and is staying...she's going to "hunker down" in the Times Picayune building.....

Please stay safe! I'm sending all of my good thoughts toward those in the path of the storm.

In Baton Rouge and staying. No need to clog the roads for those who really need to evacuate. We're prepared here and in a very strong concrete building so it'll just be scary, is all.

I'll be thinking about and praying for all of you. Stay safe!!!!

My mom is on the border of Texas and Shreveport. Hopefully her home will not flood, I am for sure the front and back yards will flood by tomorrow morning.

Many canadians in the "safe north" have been watching. We are only hoping the best for our "southern friends". God Bless!

Continued prayers.
