Corpus Christi to Fluour Bluff NAS, 1965?/6? but fortunately I was the ONLY one out there and made it before the Hurricane - deffinately NOT a grade 5.
Watching it over the course of the last few hours on satellite. She has jogged around a bit, but she is almost exactly on the last predicted track. It is getting to the point that it will take a large change in direction to spare New Orleans.
You're right. No one should be inside any building with a large span roof in a wind storm like this....domed stadium, theater, gymnasium, roller rink, etc. The chance that the entire roof will cave in is very high. A building where the roof is supported at many points by a forest of columns or interior loadbearing walls is far preferable.
Yep, if he knew about the chocolate you were not sharing (for his own good) he would thank you. But you don't want him to feel any more indebted to you than he already is, so it would be kindest just to keep your altruism to yourself.

(are you near where the hurricane is going to hit??)
do-it-yourself-ing?
...being a Yankee fan, just at the convention?

Sleeping and feeding arrangements for long-term refugees will considerably reduce the capacity.
LOL.......do you just scan FR, waiting to find a thread to post something about your 'Heels on?
Grumble......grumble...
Westwego Mayor: most left;chance water will top levee;impact--awful lot of water and wind, good chance water will top levee, will take time to get water out; if over 7 ft surge trouble;expect 30 so we'll get hit;model shows large area to be underwater;only 20% stayed behind--not happy with that;we'll try to watch over them;only one shelter; majority of fire equipment gone to Lafayette-will be back as soon as storm is over; my family is gone; we're waiting.
There's a set of tracks near me from the old PA Central Railroad. When Agnes came through she either undermined the creek where the tracks go alongside, or moved the tracks into the water. Either way, if you walk them today, the tracks dip off a 25' cliff, go down into the water, cone up to the top of the cliff again, and then do it all over again. I don't know if the rails had been originally welded together or whatever is keeping them together, but it's the darndest thing you ever saw.
$2.69 in NY just now, they have not raised it yet.
That's the best news I've heard all night - whenever Bastardi says a hurricane will do something, it usually does the exact opposite!
What did I miss about fires?
OMG- it's a perfect storm. Look at the "stadium" effect..
Here's the causeway.
The large dots are the light poles.
The smaller dots are car headlights.
I've been watching it all afternoon.

I won't be going to sleep tonight.
Like that movie - what was it with gene Hackman and Shelly Winters - oh 'The Poseiden Adventure' (sp.)
I sort of guessed that's what you meant ... but I am a curmudgeon you know!
LOL. That's how we thought my grandpa was going to go.
My grandmother used to sit next to him in the car and whack his bald head with her fist to keep him awake. Strange thing is...he could sleep through that too.
Used to scare us kids to death.
START more domestic drilling and keep the OIL and natural gas here NOW!
