Mercifully, it looks like it will tear up the Louisiana swamp between Lake Charles and Lafayette (if you believe the Weather Channel). No offense to anyone but there ain't a lot to hit around there. Lots of rain and flooding though, particularly so soon after Isidore. Go to www.mapquest.com and look up Jennings LA. Back up a little from the default image. There are a lot of small towns through that area, and a lot of people. If they didn't get out this is going to be a disaster. And it's also going to destroy a whole lot of sugarcane, which means jobs. Lili is going to hurt a lot of people no matter where it goes....
A coworker of mine has an aunt and uncle in New Iberia. He spoke with them a little while ago - they have been advised to evacuate. However, they raise limousines and refuse to leave their animals.
