The coverage with this hurricane continues to be of New Orleans,,,,,,i am from a town called Labadieville which is west of New Orleans and i am getting reports from family that things didn't go very well there that Houma, Schriever,,Labadieville,Napoleonville & Pierre Part were hit pretty hard,,,,where is the media to help comfort the people that live in these areas and evacuated,,,,,they would lo9ve to see some sort of coverage in these ares,,,,,,,it's the same as when Katrina went through,,,,All about New Orleans when the most destruction was futher east from katrina.Go tell the "true" story

HEY, what about the Mississippi Gulf Coast? Never heard CNN mention any of the flooding or wind damage.

Frankly, I am very, very tired of hearing about NOLA.

I sure hope my tax dollars aren't going to be used to prop up the bad decisions that people in coastal areas make by living there. Any costs for damages should be paid strictly by the people that live there. I sure don't "owe" them anything.

For those of us that live on the coast, this is old hat. We are used to September, keep your water, battereis and flashlights handy. Don't let your tank go below half and listen to the radio. I feel like this is all news to the rest of the country. We get hurricanes in the Gulf, sometimes strong, sometimes not. But rarely is it worthy of round the clock coverage as was proved yesterday. But Anderson I would never complain about getting to see you all day every day.

Question: I am due to drive up from FL to NY...I was planning to leave Friday morning, which would put me somewhere in the Carolinas Friday afternoon / evening! My plan is to drive up North on I-95...Please advise if that is a wise decision, or should I opt for another route / leave a day earlier or later (Thursday / Saturday)! Thank You!
