From those live shots on CNN it does still look like there is traffic on the Highways out of NOLA.# Cant be many worse places to be in a Cat 5 Hurricane then in a friggin car on the Highway.

They say that if there's a tornado and you're in your car on the highway to go to the nearest highway overpass, get out and crawl right up to the top underneath the upper road. [/b][/quote]
This is one of those urban myths.
If you're in a tornado you should get as close and tight to the ground as you can.
There have been multiple reports of people trying to take cover under highway overpasses when a tornado has passed over and they've been sucked out by said tornado.
Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to dogpile on you - didn't read ahead in the thread.
