How long does a hurricane usually last?

I’m planning a trip to NOLA next week, and of course, there’s a chance of a hurricane. If Gustav does make landfall this weekend, how long will it be before residents are back in New Orleans?

We are supposed to arrive on Wednesday. Will it be safe or even habitable by then? Living in the Midwest, I have no idea how long or how damaging a hurricane can be, except for the catastrophic.

    what’s most important is what damage is done.

    could be a big rainstorm or could be terrible destruction of homes and power lines taking weeks to repair.

    best just wait and see but be prepared to change your plans.
