I can't belive no one who has posted is from Louisina! It's the home of Gator Bites, lovely roadside swamps, Jazz festivals, Cajuns who you can barely understand what they're saying, New Orleans, and drunk rednecks!
I would have to agree that humidity makes a big difference seeing that I have to deal with it day in and day out. I was just far enough in Northern Louisiana to avoid any damage from Gustav. Anyway it's not too bad here, not that interesting but not too bad. This is just about the only state you will find an Aligator on the Interstate after a good rain. (true story!!!) I was born, raised, and still living in Louisiana. Kinda sucks though that we arn't home to many, if any, rockstars. Unlike England having Queen and Ozzy and many other of my favorites.
