I know this is four years old, but I just discovered it and it gave me chills. Having lived in South Florida my whole life and living through several hurricanes, I consider myself a bit of a weather buff and love watching local news footage of the storm because it shows such an accurate picture of what the impact of the storm looks like and how it affects local people.
I would love to see more local footage if you have it. I can't seem to find many clips.
@Boonadducious glad u enjoy the local clips...just check my page I have a few from WWL in New Orleans also one from WVUE in New Orleans and one from the local station here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast WLOX.
@Dj0287 That's awesome, thanks! Thanks for preserving these. I always go back to them when people make statements about how people were thinking or what they thought the storm would be doing before it hit. Keep up the great work!
The camera is located just before the start of the contraflow. The cars in the left lane are waiting in line to crossover to the opposing lanes to head toward Baton Rouge. The proper westbound lanes automatically sends traffic north at LaPlace to Hammond and Jackson, MS.

i guess its a normal thing for hurricane areas to be always prepared for these kinda things.
I was just wondering, when the hurricane season comes what do you guys normally do?
Keep the gas atleast half full ? keep it well tuned ? have a emergency ready to go plan ?
I live in Toronto, Ontario, so the worst we get are severe thunderstorms and some little mini tornado if any. LOL !

They did - mostly on Saturday...by mid Sunday, most of the vehicular traffic had already left the city.

If I had gotten caught in the traffic jams I saw on tv with that monster barreling my way, I would have probably created my own personal contra-flow.

This video gave me the chills just watching it. what also bothered me was the clips of the freeway. didn't they order a contra-flow?

@airdriver Contra-flow is only in certain situations, municipalities, etc.
