Experience all of that expense of fleeing, all of that press over-exaggeration, have it happen one to three times per year for twenty years, and you will get why not everybody in New Orleans fled yet again - for the umpteenth time - for a storm that would likely go east (like it did) to Mississippi like it always did. For the fixed income folks, they had no money to leave as the storm hit at the end of the month for medicaid, medicare, retired/social security check surviving on folks. Add to that the folks that could not trust their car to sit in traffic for hours and not break down in the middle of nowhere - the folks that had no credit cards or cash to pay for a motel - and the folks that had stayed every year since the mid 1960s when there was a "Hurricane Scare" and not had any adverse consequence, save the glares from the idiots who fled, spent all their money, and returned home broke to a safe dry house - and you have a side to why people here did what they did that is more easily explainable.

After decades of "scare" announcements about why they had to leave - only to find it was all a waste of money and panicky pundits - folks chose to stay. They were not idiots. They were just making decisions using a thought process that included memories of the dozens of times they had been told to flee "the big one" - only to find that the press was wrong.

I bring this up because it is the sixth anniversary of Katrina today.

I've lived through the "Great Apocalyptic Blizzards of 1990-2010". Hopefully this year we get a reprieve...

shouldn't be a whole hell of a lot of wind to this one (at least as far as Tropical Storms go).

Started raining late yesterday, and figures to keep raining for a few days.
center of this thing is projected to pass just north of me, and i'm on the wrong side of it.

not projecting much of a storm surge, so I'm gonna ride this one out at my house.

if by chance it strengthens and or surge projections increase, I'll head to a little higher ground.
