Because your town wasn't flooded three years ago and isn't spelled N-E-W O-R-L-E-A-N-S.

Uhhh, actually it was. My DH was living in New Orleans when Katrina hit and had to come to SF because he lost everything (home, job, friends, money, belongings).

But, unfortunately I suspect the worst when it comes to media coverage and their choices.

And, my question was actually rhetorical more than anything. I can see how it didn't read that way so thanks for your attempt at an answer.

I understand what you're saying now. I was coming from the perspective of that there's more to damage/flooding/problems in Louisiana other than New Orleans, but we don't see anything about that.

I like the Southern ones...Which are in abundance.

Gee thanks. When this thing starts coming ashore here, I get to go out to work in it.

Current track still shows it hitting Houston the hardest (right side of the storm).

Damn, that storm is absolutely huge
Not strong but huge.

By chance I came across a local Galveston tv news station on satellite.
Looks pretty bad there. Sends well wishes.

So according to the latest track... this will be the first time a still-named storm will hit me way up here in Canada. :lookaroun

Prayers for the Galveston/Houston area.
