” ...Glad it wasn’t any worse...
...Btw, what part of the country is that?... “


Thanks FRiend!

I’m about 50 miles south of Shreveport LA, about 140 miles north of where Laura made landfall on the coast. Laura was so strong that it still produced hurricane force winds here.

As an aside: for years and years, my father - and several like him - were a local, living embodiment of the old WKRP In Cincinnati clique. Up and down the dial for a lot of their careers. It honestly drove the man to too much chain-smoking, some late nights at the corner tavern, and eventually an early grave. He finally started to try to discourage me from going into commercial broadcast radio; I had the voice according to many (until 30 years of chain smoking toasted it nicely), but too many times I heard him tell me, "Don't get into this business if you want to stay sane. Pick a better hobby." Great sentiment from your dad, who you wanted to follow into whatever infamy it led to. Well, after moving to D.C., I was living there with him when he took a plunge and landed at a new station there, snagged a plum interview with Larry King when King was on fire in the radio syndication business and about to hit the CNN cable network arena; I even fielded phone calls for him from the likes of Pat Buchanan and others. The whole enterprise folded and he moved back home with even more venom for the industry*. I stayed, and years later, recovering from a failed marriage, we were talking on the phone one evening, and in the middle of the conversation, he stopped and asked me, "Son, why didn't you ever want to follow in the old man's footsteps and go into radio?"

If it were physically possible, I'd have reached through the phone wires and strangled that sonofabitch.

*A definition of irony. After he'd gone home, I stayed and landed as a security supervisor in the metro area; I got contracted out to pull duty for the new CNN headquarters for Washington (known as the Black Granite building then), On my first shift as a newly minted lieutenant, I found myself standing right in the broadcast studio of King's new show. Only after Dad died twenty years ago did I begin to understand the perverse, twisted sense of humor that fate can drop at your feet like a cat dropping a dead mouse on the doorstep.

Viking,
With your vast knowledge and experience in the radio industry, getting just a Ham license should be, like I said, a walk in the park.

Please disregard my uninformed post.

You have a good night now.

Yikes! Amazing those trees landed where they did! You definitely have had enough storm to last a decade or two.

This is insane - Louisiana getting hit a second time.

My mother and siblings live just east of Baton Rouge (Walker). Looks like they are going to get hit this time from Sally like I did from Laura.

Yeah that’s courtesy of the driveby nets that used to give us our news.NOw we create our own. It’s what we do. More and more people are starting to get who is who.
Seems antifa is now coming after us,or at least trying,they will keep it up until they start disappearing.

Sounds like you should be teaching instead of paying silly tuition and “professors must publish” prices for dumb asses $500 text books.
College costs have been supported by big govt. bumping up the student loan levels,under Trump that will stop sooner or later.He knows a con when he sees one.

Talk radio from a broadcast standpoint can be very addictive.Even now I am doing a one hour a week show on two 100,000 watt Fm stations here in the Keys. I sure do miss the old days. But, IU have to make a living.I might even retire one day.

ThAnks nutmeg. It's all Powerline. Their stuff is hard to beat.

BUt is shows how both parties think.One part concentrates on bringing the country down while the other celebrates those who make the country what it is: "the shining city on the hill."

Sally could drop a lot of water on New Orleans might test all their planning for a city below sea level.

The ground along the Mississippi and Alabama Coast is already saturated. Not good for the folks there. Potential for lots of trees on houses.

Yup.

I just burned my tree limbs pile that has been accumulating. I don't want those to blow all around again.
