Up until last year, I have lived in New Orleas my entire life.
If I did not have the safety of the datacenter to retret to, I would not be staying.

Just FYI, my favorite vacation spot (negrill, jamaica) suffered the most significant damage from water coming over the cliffs and swamping everything. Those cliffs are 30 feet high. For those of you who've been to negrill, that's the place where you take the catamarans over and people do the cliff diving ... I forget the name of the bar up on top.
Anyways, don't doubt that the storm surge could be enormous. Chances are louisiana will be to the left of the eye and therefore hopefully less surge as a result, but I wouldn't bet my life on it.
