IF youre leaving New Orleans - Some Info
 

First off - if you have icq - and need some help - mine is 127670340

Evacuation routes to the north on I-55 - the lastest info we're getting up here is that most hotels/motels in Jackson are full. Might be best to turn west on I20 and head towards Vicksburg although last I checked most hotels there are full as well - If you keep going west there are rooms available
Also all rental car places are sold out in New Orleans from the last word

Some shelters are available in Mississippi - by county:
Adams:Natchez - to get there - take 98 west off of I 55 - you'll see plenty of signs for it

Natchez, Open Sunday at 3 p.m. David E. Steckler Multi-Purpose Building, 311 Liberty Road

Canton area, The Movietown R.V. Park, 109 Movietown Drive, exit 119 on I-55

Warren: Vicksburg - take the I-20 exit west off of I-55 (its around exit 100 somewhere) and its about 40 miles west of I-55

Come to Atlanta... there are hotel rooms here

I commend you on your effort to inform but I SERIOUSLY doubt that anyone in New Orleans is on GFY right now. I'm sure they're rushing to pack their shit or already inroute to evacuate.

HighonAcid - unfortunately there are people posting on this board right now that are still there - and arent convinced that they need to leave :(
