There's something to be said for living this far north.
THey're attempting to evacuate or shelter the entire city of New Orleans as the hurricane is expected to hit sometime around sunrise.
Some experts are saying this Category 5 Hurricane could sink the city, as most of it sits up to 3 meters below sea level....
