Day 6 (June 30th) Driving in a Hurricane

Well, this started out as an uneventful day of driving. We drove from Atlanta, GA, to Greenville, AL, yesterday. We made a quick overnight stop at a nice little campground and today we're finishing the drive into New Orleans. It's not a routine drive, however, because right about Pascagoula, Missippi, we drove under the edge of Hurricane Alex (?). It's making landfall in Mexico and Texas, but today and tomorrow we'll be getting rained on in Louisiana. The rain was sudden and torrential, so there were a few accidents and we've been slowed down in the back-ups. We'd hoped to make New Orlean by 3pm and hit the campground's pool, but I'm betting more on 5pm and staying in while the torrential downpour passes.
