Evacuate??? What???

There was an enormous amount of panic inside the government of the States when this rig blew. Unknowns made it easy to look first to worse case scenarios.

I think evacuation of Louisiana will come first. Draw a line on a map -- an east to west line above Baton Rouge -- then everything south of that line will be evacuated. This is I what I hear from former colleagues.

Quebec and New Brunswick should invite the Cajuns and Creoles to come home to Canada imho, but from a USA federal perspective I think they have their collective jaundiced eyes looking at Michigan and relocating New Orleans to Detroit.... Lots of ideas being bounced about, but at the heart of it it seems a federally controlled evacuation of south Louisiana will happen ... and will happen sooner if something even more dramatic transpires.
