Tropical Storm Cindy is supposed to strike the US Gulf Coast somewhere
near the mouth of the Mississippi River later tonight/early tomorrow.
Good luck to all kitties and their hoomins (and even to d*gs, horses
and other creatures) in the area!

Are they evacuating New Orleans (on the Mississippi), or is it out of
the strike zone?

Probably not Jeanne. They don't usually evacuate for tropical storms.

*sighs*
Lovely to know this though. I hadn't heard. Icing on the cake of a lovely
day. </sarcasm>

Or the start of a lovely week. </sarcasm>

It's Eve's birthday Sunday and from the moment I woke up, things are getting
more and more crapped out.

some more of your precious memories of her... it's a catharsis of sorts.

Not having lived that far south (or south at all, really - the closest
I can come is NW Alabama for a college summer job in Muscle Shoals), I
wouldn't know. My question was from hearing repeatedly over the years
that the city of New Orleans, being mostly below sea level, doesn't do
well when lots of rain comes down (be it tropical storm or hurricane).

I just saw the New Orleans radar on The Weather Channel - looks like
Cindy is going to come in right on top of the city.

If you haven't heard there's another storm (David?) moving into the
Gulf from Cuba/Florida way. TWC's talking heads are saying it's likely
to turn into a hurricane and strike the same general areas as Cindy is
going into.
