Hopefully you have left. I lived in New Orleans for 40 years. Get out and kiss your fish goodbye as very little will survive this monster. I recall computer models of what would happen to the City if a Cat 5 hurricane made a direct hit. The model indicated no area would be free from flooding with many areas 10-20 feet under water. Once the water tops the levies the levies then become the enemy as the water will be held in and cannot get out. Very few if any home structures will survive 175 plus mph winds. The SUperdome was built to only withstand 200 mph winds. Take a look at that structure then look at your home.
Best of luck and take a good look at the city before you leave....it will be years before life returns to normal....if ever if ya'll suffer a direct hit. .
THoughts and prayers to all the good folks back home.
