Having lived through a couple when I was in NC, there's always a period of "dead air" before and after a hurricane. Afterwards is the worst. It's hot and humid with no breeze, and more than likely you're in it trying to clean up.
I'm in BR and I'm concerned. Imagine how those in NO that can't leave feel. How tragic for those that can't get out. So many shotgun houses and poor people and I hope the dome can handle those winds and water. I'm saddened at the loss of life that will happen. At the never ending ineptness of our public officials. That a city in my state will be wiped off the map. And the Laisser les bons temps rouler (Less lay bohn tohn roo lay):Let the good times roll mentality of those that are staying. Plaquemines Parish spokesman said he has people who have decided to stay on their boats and ride this thing out. The pressure is now lower than Camille was. She was 909, Katrina is 908, and Andrew was 922.
