Get Out of Town


Canal Street New Orleans 1904

Hurricane Gustav has gathered strength over Cuba and this category-4 storm is barreling across the Caribbean in the direction of disaster hub, New Orleans. The local, state, and federal governments have learned the lesson of Katrina well. In order to avoid the calamity of 2005 residents have been ordered to flee the Crescent City. 700 buses are on hand to evacuate the populace, but police have been hitting the streets to tell residents that the city will not open up the Superbowl, which housed over 30,000 survivors in the aftermath of Katrina.

You're on your own.

Don't panic.

Flee with dignity.

We are all Georgians.
