Good luck ladies and gentlemen.

I grew up in Florida (the Panhandle) and that's the way we always felt about New Orleans--we'd all have much rather received a direct hit than to have NOLA take one, for all the reasons we saw 6 years ago this weekend.
It's amazing to me how many meterologists are in my social circle! "Oh, it will be nothing." NYC can barely handle a rainstorm without some subways flooding out. We rarely have sustained winds over 25 MPH--6-10" of rain and sustained 50-60 hour winds in buildings not equipped to handle this? I hope it scares the shit out of some of these know-it-alls.
