New Orleans warily eyes Tropical Storm Chris

[Roon]

NEW ORLEANS - New Orleans cast a wary eye toward Tropical Storm Chris on Wednesday and put the final touches on a reaction plan that could empty the city which last evacuated after Hurricane Katrina.

“I’m scared to go through another one,” said forklift driver Inos Jones, 50, who stayed through Katrina last August until he was rescued. “If they have another hurricane, you can just shut Louisiana for good.”

The National Hurricane Center projected that the center of Chris could strengthen to hurricane force within 36 hours.

1. Abbeville warily eyes Chris too.

Dammit.

2. "Warily" is not a strong enough word.

I still have holes in my ceiling from Katrina.

3. Chris will explode as soon at it hits the extremely warm Gulf,

just like Katrina.

Just you watch!

And if it turns north, Louisiana and the Gulf Coast cities of Biloxi and Gulfport will not recover this time!
