I am just sick. We are going to witness the worst natural disaster in American history and there's not a damn thing we can do about it.
Good to see you Dog. I just got up myself to see things have gotten even worse. Looks like you were quite right about it. It'll be compounded by these nitwits running the state and city. The loss of life might be high along with the loss of New Orleans.
WE can get ready to help with the after effects, when the survivors will really need our help...
Not necessarily. GFDL model has continued to move further east, now targeting Pascagoula. Of course it is just a model, and one model, but overnight the trend for many of them and the official track has been a slight shift towards the east. Will see in about 45 minutes if that continues. May not move east enough to avoid the levee breaches, but I'd be willing to bet that it does. However I am far away, and if lived anywhere near NO would have been long gone, taking no chances.

One thing everyone can do is make sure to donate to the RIGHT charity.
We will see some dramatic "planned" pictures of some charities groveling for money in the comming weeks. DO NOT BE FOOLED FOLKS.
I will not name names, but remember which major charity organizations were more interested in collect money and not doing overly expensive good.
175 MPH? We are watching history in the making here, folks. Unlike Camille; today's technology is providing all of us with front-row seats.
Just glanced up at Fox News...and the headline said winds now 175MPH...Not sure if you all know this already or not..
The bumper to bumper traffic is a big concern with me.."huge Lake Pontchartrain, crossed by the world's longest bridge, the 23½ mile long Greater New Orleans Causeway". ALL those cars. I can anticipate problems with that :(
