That’s great news. I’m very glad for you (and your son). How far up & out did they go?

I knew it was a bit breezy out tonight but I didn't think that breezy.

If the model is correct, we may have a very short week next week!

They’re headed to Chattanooga, TN. I don’t know if they’ll drive straight thru tonight or not. It took them a long time to get out of the city, but they are out and I am so relieved.

In other words: People of New Orleans, GET OUT NOW!!!

Hopefully, enough people now realize that sitting on your ass waiting for the government to carry you to safety is a bad survival plan.

Sigh, I know..

And worse- his entire introduction to the show (prepare for your bp to raise) was showing HIM in the middle of one of his hysterical rants, tears streaming, in NOLA after Katrina...he then talked to the head of FEMA (who seems like he’s on top of it) and berated him..ARE things better...WILL you get people out...ARE there places for them to go..

The Drama of Geraldo continues..

The scientist just said the storm surge up the Mississippi could reach as far as Baton Rouge!

You gotta wonder about that middle one. There must be some reason why they couldn’t just let the traffic stay on the roads they were already on. They’re taking westbound 12 traffic and sending it north on 190, then taking northbound 190 traffic and sending it westbound on 12.

Whoa.

That’s the thing folks forget- it’s all about the surge.

The local NOLA weatherman comes on local and say it’s not as serious are Nagin said? What is he, God?

I'm thinking he's an unemployed-come-Monday weather guy.

Broussard (Jefferson parish prez.) gave a great explanation of what mandatory meant. He said you will get NO services from anyone. You are confined to your house and it is a sort of house arrest. If you leave your house, you will be considered a suspicious person since no one is supposed to be there.

I suppose he could have made it stronger by saying "if you dial 9-1-1 no one will answer" and "suspicious people could get shot" but I think he made his point.

WDSU team is dead serious in their coverage.

New Orleans will be on the worst side of this storm and then, forecast says it stalls, and New Orleans is a soup bowl.

I liked his banners as he ranted. Storm TORE through Cuba...SHEETS of rain...SHRIEKING winds... Yeah. We get it, Jerry. It was a cat-4 storm. Then he had the breaking Fox News Alert that it has OFFICIALLY left Cuba, and is NOW IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. [cue music: bum-bump-BAAAAAA!]

shocking. The storm crossed Cuba and then left Cuba. It’s now in the Gulf.

Crying Broussard who said his mother “drownded because the cavalry never came”?

Now that you meantion it, that is kind of weird. Why not let 12 go west and 190 go north unimpeded?
