Um, evacuate. You don't want to be ANYWHERE near there. Don't think about your car. Think about your house, your belongings, your LIFE. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. Hurricanes are monster of storms. I would strong advise you leave right now. Category 5 is not anything to shrug off.
THINK ABOUT IT. Ugh. You know none of us here want anything to happen to you.

if they had ratings higher than 5, it would be up there. 170+mph winds and 200+ gusts. 90-95% destruction is expected (from reports). a toyota celica should be the last of your concerns. if all else fails, get yourself to the superdome, it's an emergency shelter.
consider the car to be lost if you haven't already evac'ed. i remember i was down there one time, and a little rainstorm cause flooding...so i can only imagine this. >
>. g'luck to you, but just get YOURSELF somewhere safe...

It's as big as Texas...

best of luck to you and your celi. this one looks to be very serious
Id park it in an empty lot, and then go take shelter. good luck
This is going to likely be one of the 5 strongest hurricanes EVER in recorded history when it makes landfall... According to the news right now, its in the top 3 with Andrew, and an unnamed hurricaine in 1935. This is going to be catastrophic... Predictions are that some parts of new orleans will be under 20 to 30 feet of water. After the storm, crocadiles and poisionus water snakes, along with disease, are going to be everywhere... The news also says that it is taking 5 hours to travel the same distance it normally would in 30 minuetes... New Orleas as we know it looks to become history... Im not a god fearing person, but my prayers go out to everybody who will be affected because of this storm.

the scary thing to me is that the storm surge is expected to be 25-30 feet of water, but the majority of new orleans is only 8-11 feet above sea level... >

and the barricades holding water back have only an 18ft buffer...so you have the surges, + the waves on top of that...but we'll all see in due time if all this pessimism and ominousness is true...let's just hope the superdome stands...

i can't believe some people are refusing to evacuate... i was watching the news and they were telling those people that the attic was the safest place to be, but to keep a way to escape through the roof because the water might trap them and they will have to hack their way through the roof.... thats so rediculous.
it looks as if New Orleans recieved a miracle. The storm hit farther east than expected, and it weakened down to a level 3. The storm surge was only 15 feet, and most of the cities' levies and pumps are working. The problem now is all the rain, and lake ponchitrain (sp) may start to flood out... But it seems like the certain catastrophic flooding isnt going to happen >>

well now a the wall gave out so most of new orleans is flooded. I'm in northern miss. w/ relatives. Seems okay but my parish isnt allowing people to come back, so dont know about my house. But everyone seems to be okay. The main bridge into New Orleans has either sections pushed over or missing. So I think I may be off the rest of the semester. But just hoping that everything is okay back home. I've heard from a friend whose fiance's brother in-law is a sheriff and its pretty rough in the city next to mine which is just north of new orleans and off the lake. But sounds like mostly trees and powerlines down in my actual city. I'll be sure to hit y'all up w/ some pics. Catch y'all later. Still have the great drive home which should be interesting.
& I'm in the celica so I may have to drop it off at my grandparents an hour away if the roads are too bad.
I'll hit y'all up later.

Yeah Chucho I tried calling you to see if you were ok but all the phone lines are messed up. Couldnt get the call through. I will post pictures tomorrow of the damage it did here in Baton Rouge. A house not two blocks from me is divided down the center by a HUGE tree. My house got lucky and no trees fell on it. We had a hell of a time cleaning today. The pool is a mess. The celica got hit by a flying tree branch but didnt do much damage. New Orleans is now 80% under water. There are so many people here in Baton Rouge that had to leave New Orleans that have nothing. There house and everything are under water. Everyone needs to pray for them and the people stranded.
