In Alabama, considering the coastal areas which lie at a range of around 10-30 feet above sea level and Mobile Bay and delta areas, which are pretty low lying land areas, I’d say if it were possible, try to get to Mt. Cheaha area. It’s about 4-5 hours north of the Gulf Coast area and is around 1200-1500 feet above sea level.
You may not have to drive that far, to get to higher ground, but you’d need to take into consideration all of the rivers in your area and try to get away from those.
GLPers should have a pretty good advanced warning and can feasibly make that trek, in the amount of time it would take for the tsunami to reach the Gulf, if you have your plan in place.
If anyone else from Alabama can chime in and give a closer point to get to than Cheaha, that would be great!

Any suggestions for where folks in New Orleans should plan to evacuate to?Head North and West, maybe to the NW part of the state. Get away from the Mississippi River and the smaller rivers on the Northshore. No one knows how this would affect the Mississippi River, but I have a bad feeling about that. Also, evacuating south Louisiana has historically proven to be a very difficult task due to stubborn citizens and slow-moving government officials. Right! I was going to edit my post after, to include the lake but decided that the Mississippi River is doomy enough for now. :hidetomato: The lake would definitely cause problems. Even if the wave was not as high as the East Coast wave that incoming surge would mess us up worst than a hurricane.
