Landlocked hurricane town
Not quite my favorite of the papers playing named-storm roulette, but wanted to highlight the unique news judgement. Under no threat of hurricane, Atlanta shows its NOLA evacuees that they matter.

I don't know, Nicole ... I happened to be in Atlanta when Hurricane Ivan (or was it Jeanne?) passed over in 2004, and it was pretty nasty there. (Of course, that was before I moved to Florida!) I did think it was an interesting news choice, though. On a side note, Atlanta has had some great front pages lately. And they're about finished with the "Through Hell and High Water" series ... it has been a great read, and I think it kept a presence on the front for all 22 chapters. Impressive!
