I live in Hammond, and think that you are TOO close to where the hurricane is supposed to hit, so YES you should leave NOW!! As a matter of fact, I heard that everyone who is living south of Hwy. 22 need to evacuate NOW!

Put it this way. Katrina was only a Cat 3. This one is a Cat 4 and expected to grow t a Cat 5 by the time it hits land.
You better be making your mind up very quick as to what you are gonna do. I would be getting the hell out of there.

I worked with survivors of Katrina in Slidell. Get the heck out of there!! Slidell did not get much coverage in the news but it was a MESS!! Leave NOW

No mandatory evac, eh? I heard St. Tammany Parish President Davis state earlier that all areas south of I-12 and east of I-59 were under a mandatory evacuation order. You'd better turn on some news. And get the heck out of there.

Well consider this. You are quite close to an area that is being evacuated, take that as a hint. People think that because it doesn't say them specifically that it won't be bad for them when in reality theres a good chance they intended for people in Slidell to take the warning too.

In my opinion, you should leave. This hurricane is predicted to be a harder hit for the North Shore than Katrina was. In Slidell they are forecasting a storm surge of up to 20 feet. I'm sure they have a mandatory evacuation by now in Slidell. Be safe.

Wow. Get out of Slidell. My best friend lives in De Ridder, LA and shes gettin' the hell out... thats farther back from the coast than Slidell. Be safe and leave anyway!

If you live on the North Shore you should be fine. We live in Moragn City and we are staying. We live in a brick home and have built in hurricane shudders. If you do leave, you should not have to go too far North. Good Luck.

Evacuate for sure. You never know how the hurricane could change its path.

Kay,

I know how hard it is to make that decision. I lived in Slidell during Katrina and yes we flooded. Everything flooded south of 12, with the exception of a few crossgates areas. I still consider getting out with my 2 kids the best decision of my life. The town was out of commission for a few weeks after with no power or water or services. Get out, you can always came back. Take care.

Listen out and do exactly what you are told to do. Do not take any chances. Because the emergeny response teams are working 24/7, you will surely know if your area is in severe danger. Our prayers are with you --- Toni D.

WE live in Slidell and are staying.... NERVOUS... but it is almost more of a hassle to leave get stuck in traffic, run out of gas, or not get a hotel room because they are all fulll!!!!!!

That's a tough decision. Talk with your neighbors, friends and/or family and see what they think. I wish I could be of more help, but I am safe for the most part in Detroit. Good luck!

Depends on where you live in slidell, and where the eye of the storm will pass...there's still time for you to figure it out.
