[R-390] Gulf Coast?

[llgpt at aol.com]

EMCS operator at Keesler AFB. In fact, I just arrived at work. Was told 
they will shut down the base at 1000pm. So, I'll be here for probably 
28-36 hrs.

this will be my last hurricane working for the Government unless we 
have another this year. I'm getting too damn old for this crap!

All: I worked at NASA's Stennis Space Center (between I-10 and I-59 on 
the
MS-LA border) from 1990 to 1999.  I just talked to a friend of mine 
still
there; he's on his way in to work there today.  I think my former home 
(in
Slidell, LA) is going to be history, as will a good portion of Slidell.

I saw on the news this afternoon that there are 100,000 folks stuck in 
New
Orleans for various reasons.  I hope like crazy that most of them 
survive.

Les: Where do you work?  I was a DoD contractor in the 80s...

Yep, Got my family off to Florida to safety. I am considered a "Mission
Essential" DOD Vivilian worker, so I'll go in to work this afternoon 
for the
duration. Probably 23-26 hours or more. That is the norm anyways. But, 
this
is
the worst hurricane since Camille in 1969 which devastated the Gulf 
Coast.
New
Orleans will be history in some areas, they are approximately 12 ft. 
below
sea
 level in the central business area and french quarter.
