Lucy Lawless flees hurricane

Lucy Lawless, star of the TV programme Xena: Warrior Princess, is still recovering from a nightmare escape from New orleans to avoid Hurricane Katrina. The New Zealand actress fled the US city with the masses when officials issued a mandatory evacuation alert over the weekend, as the category five storm threatened. She says, “The traffic was going one-mile-per hour sometimes, then it was two-miles-per hour, then five. It took nine hours for what should have taken 50-55 minutes.” Lucy was in town shooting a new movie, Vampire Bats.
