Oh you guys are scaring me. I live just north of New Orleans, in Baton Rouge.

My name (Katherine) means pure too.

Have you considered heading a bit north for a while????

What are you hearing on your local news?

Praying for you,

Hmm very interesting thread And I agree with Zayit and Super Jew on this. I don't think God just 'lets' natural disasters happen, I believe He purposely sends them at times to.

But let us keep in mind that God is merciful as well as holy, and we should be praying that He will use this to save people.

Baton Rouge isn't even 80 miles from New Orleans, correct?

I would say fill your vehicles with gas, get lots of water, food etc. and head for higher ground. This thing is 400 miles wide.

Praying for you.

Biker: Hang in there, Sis. I went through 3 of 4 major hurricanes that hit my house last year.

I prayed, fasted and annointed my home with oil. We suffered NO damage.

Most weren't so fortunate.

Those who trust in the Lord will renew their strength. They shall mount up on wings of eagles. They shall run and not grow weary; they shall walk and not grow faint. Isaiah 40:31

Tornado warning there now. That place is getting torn up!

I-10 through Baton Rouge has had bumper to bumper traffic since early this morning. DH and I were amazed at the traffic early this morning as we drove to church. We don't usually seem much traffic at 7am on a Sunday. Every gas station has cars lined up at the pumps all day long. The stores are crowded, the storm essentials are sold out. All the hotels are filled. Local authorities are telling us to stay off I-10 and let them get through.

Baton Rouge is above sea level. Though we will experience water and wind, it will be nothing like New Orleans. They are expecting the storm surge to top the levee in New Orleans.

It just started raining (6:30pm) and it is pouring. Mr. Biker has gone to try to get ice from the office machine because none is available in the stores. He works for the state and they have been told the state offices will be closed for two days.

Both my sons work in the chemical plants and are on emergency call.

It is scary, but I am a born-again believer, so I have no fear for myself, kwim? But my children are not saved. I could not agree more with SJ and Zayit about Sin City. I never go to New Orleans if I can avoid it.

I expect the power will go out soon. Pray for us, dear brothers and sisters.
