If it keeps heading this way, I'll be sleeping less in a day or so. I grew up near the Louisiana coast, so I've been through a lot of them. When I was a kid, I think we had one just about every Labor Day weekend. I remember being frustrated because we never got to miss school because of the storm.
My kids on the other hand, have had to miss a week or more of school after Katrina and Gustav, and they had to eat MREs for lunch for days after going back to school because there wasn't fresh food available.
I don't get worried until they're a day or so out or if they're gigantic! The key is to be prepared!
