(((Chalmette)))) as one storm survivor to another....

PLEASE PLAN TO EVACUATE. If things change for the better, it's easy to just not go.

But, you have been through enough. I know you want to stay, but I think that is part of the denial of how bad it could be again. As the storm gets closer, if it should go to LA, you will become more anxious, and possibly not be able to make any safe decisions.

Get on the list to leave now, let them call you, and in the meantime, prepare to go. Please.

Even if you stay and there's no big impact environmentally, you will still have a reaction psychologically...and it just is NOT worth it. It's better to leave and then lie to yourself afterwards thinking you may not have had to.

Please.
