La. Lt. Gov: Get out!

I was just watching the NBC New Orleans affiliate talking to the lieutenant governor of Louisiana—and his message was rather frank: Residents should get out. The storm, Gustav, may hit New Orleans in its most vulnerable locations, Mitch Landrieu said on WDSU New Orleans.  Residents who can't get out because they're without a car can take buses that are picking people up in as many as 17 locations.

During the interview, there was talk of this storm being the storm of the century. That should exemplify just how strong it might be, especially in light of the devastation Katrina and Rita caused in the area.

If you pray, this might be a good time to offer one up for the people down there—it's not going to be pretty.
