Hurricane Isaac 2012 : 'Hope for The Best', But 'Prepare for The Worst'

comments: 1

Hurricane Isaac 2012 is making news even though Isaac is still a tropical storm. Forecasters expect the storm to gain strength and become a hurricane soon, but authorities aren't waiting for that to happen to ensure public safety.
As the storm gets closer to making landfall, it looks more and more like New Orleans is going to be ground zero. Although Isaac will not be as strong as the devastating hurricane Katrina, it will definitely make an impact on the gulf states.
"I think the state and local governments are much better prepared for the storm surge and emergencies," said NOLA resident John Coril.
Others don't agree, however, and think that authorities are overreacting just a bit.
"If it comes in, it's just going to be a big rainstorm. I think they overreacted, but I understand where they're coming from. It's safety," said Billy Cannon.
Of course, safety should be the first concern, and since there isn't a definite strength as of yet, it's possible that Hurricane Isaac could become a strong category 2 or even 3 storm.
Either of those scenarios wouldn't be good for NOLA or the gulf coast in general.
Are in the path of Hurricane Isaac? Are you evacuating and taking precautions?
