Thanks BV,any news on the Stones crew and equipment,if they have arrived,where they may be etc? This is a tricky situation to say the least.
Appreciate your thoughts on the locals,they’re some tough people though,Cajuns.
New Orleans isn't Cajun. That's a misnomer. It's Creole. Cajuns are a bit west, where Barry will go.
Gas light, are you from the area or have people there?

Katrina had a 41 foot surge in Waveland, MS.

You won't find that anywhere officially. I got that from the phone company. Slidell, LA got a 20 foot surge, on the weak side of Katrina. Biloxi was around 28.
The highest official storm surge is 27.8 feet at Pass Christian, Mississippi for Katrina. The second highest is... at the same place for Camille with 22.8 feet.
No matter what, 20 feet is A LOT OF WATER, especially when it's got forward movement.
The northern Gulf Coast is similar to the Bay Of Bengal.

Lastly unless the Stones are using helicopters to get fans to the event all 200 floodgates will be closed by Friday for the duration of the storm. No way to drive in or out of the city.

CNN spreading the fear...
Hope the show goes on, but not if there's a risk for everyone attending.
Thoughts are with all the locals, and all who are visiting the area.
If it happens, could be one of the greatest shows this tour.

A third member of my party canceled (understandably) and I said I'd take the ticket back since they were my idea to start with, no harm no foul..
Sooo, if show happens I now have an extra Pit ticket (which makes 3 extra tickets I'm now carrying/eating cost of, this show is by far my most expensive!)
I will be trying to get at least something back for it, so if any of you make it there and want Pit AND show goes on stay in touch

I just got this paper on my door to the hotel room here in NOLA, see below.
I am off to get some food before nearby services close down.
Already many ground floor services are closed, I will support those who are brave and keep open nearby.
The city has been working hard securing the river barriers.
Sandbags are placed in front of entrances where water is expected.
Both Wallmarts stores on the main street are closed, like many others.
I would not fly into New Orleans on Saturday, when the weather will be worst.
Also, make sure your location is safe, if you plan to come here.
There is a heavy storm coming.
