There are mandatory evacuations happening right now in New Orleans due to Hurricane Gustav; the highways are bumper to bumper. Where are all of those people going? If you have no where to go (friends or family), where does the government expect you to go?

Drive far inland where the hurricane wind speed decreases and stay off the coast area.

NEW ORLEANS - Police with bullhorns plan to go street to street this weekend with a tough message about getting out ahead of Hurricane Gustav: This time there will be no shelter of last resort. The doors to the Superdome will be locked. Those who stay will be on their own. New forecasts Friday made it increasingly clear that New Orleans will get some kind of hit — direct or indirect — by early next week. That raised the likelihood people would have to flee, and the city suggested a full-scale evacuation call could come as soon as Sunday. Those among New Orleans' estimated 310,000 to 340,000 residents who ignore orders to leave accept "all responsibility for themselves and their loved ones," the city's emergency preparedness director, Jerry Sneed, has warned. ****This time, the city has taken steps to ensure no one has an excuse not to leave. The state has a $7 million contract to provide 700 buses to evacuate the elderly, the sick and anyone around the region without transportation.

I actually saw a car from Louisiana at a gas station here (LaGrange, GA) today...The man said he was staying here with friends until he could go back home

Out of danger! You are responsible to get yourself out of there. I don't know where the buses are dropping people off or where the cars are driving but it is where they will not be flooded. People can get stubborn just like last time and expect to be coddled, but it is not going to happen.

We have shelters set-up here in Laurel,MS.We are 2 hrs. from the gulf and about 2 1/2 from New Orleans.We already have hundreds here but have room for more.

its kinda like this...your standing on a mountain with a boulder rolling down upon you-is it more important to sit there and think about places to run to...or do you more or less just want to get the hell out of its way!!

They expect you to go north. As fast as you can. Given several fucking days, you can probably get at least five hours away from N.O. If you're on a government bus, then that is the best you can do.

Most I hear have gone off to Tennessee to set up shelters to ride it out until they can return home.

I guess it's a complete nightmare and much more difficult for some than others but if there are shelters and voluntary organizations maybe people can find help until the worst is over. I really pity the poor people who have to excape then return to find everyhitng they own destroyed anyway. We should all be grateful if we live in easier places and let's not forget to send some loving enrgy to those in distress.

Most of them are traveling to neighboring states where they will remain until the crisis passes. I don't think the government is capable of planning for this sort of eventuality. They should have large campgrounds for storm refugees located inland a few hundred miles from the danger zones.
