NEAR NEW ORLEANS (CNN) - Tropical Storm Isaac is projected to make landfall in southeastern Louisiana tonight. People living in low-lying coastal areas from the Florida Panhandle to southeastern Louisiana have been ordered to evacuate ahead of storm surges and heavy rain.
Residents spent Monday boarding up windows of homes and businesses. Even inmates chipped in, helping pack sandbags. Isaac is predicted to make landfall possibly as a Category One hurricane. Tomorrow marks the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall. The mayor of New Orleans says the levees have seen $10-billion dollars in improvements since Katrina.
But with Katrina still fresh on their minds local and state leaders are still being extremely cautious.
"Even though one of the refrains you've heard is we're hoping for the best, we're also preparing for the worst. So in addition to sheltering and medical and transportation, and food resources, we also have prepared for the worst and are ready for search and rescue missions," says Governor Bobby Jindal.
The National Hurricane Center says a few areas of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi could get as much as 18 inches of rain. Tropical Storm Isaac has already killed 24 people in Haiti and the Dominican Republic-- and halted most of the oil production in the Gulf of Mexico.
