Giselle, they have talked about the levees ever since Katrina and they are not that sure they will hold.. I'd say (my own opinion) that anything over a catagory 2 or 3, there will be major problems with them. With all the rain they are calling for, once the levees get saturated, we have to wonder how long they will hold.

It is down to a catagory 3 this morning, let HOPE and PRAY it stays a cat 3! They said the rain will start tomorrow. I think flooding is going to be our biggest problem and they are already talking about prolonged power outages.

Of the 2 big boats that normally stay down close to the gulf, one is in Baton Rouge and one is in Reserve. Bet those guys are glad to get a break from all the work they do down there but sweating the hurricane.
