There won't be much of a hurry after the storm. Boats and helicopters will do just fine.
She was just saying that she grew up near there and has spent much time in NO and the Quarter...that explains her exhibitions of sadness and pending doom...
yes, or just plain stupid
Should we start a pool?
"I heard yesterday that he (New Orleans mayor), was called by the Director (I believe it was) of the National Weather Service to really explain how serious the situation was and that they thought he should start evacuations of NO. Later in the evening I heard him asked about that by WWL he danced all around it and finally said he would make the decision about mandatory evacuations early in the morning. He couldn't have been warned any better than that."
The mayor also said go to the second floor and if water comes up hack an opening to the roof and go up there. Yep, right then you get blown away. Great choices there.
Yeah.. Janice Dean.... I'm guessing she isn't going to make it through this thing :)

Recalling the basic formula from physics, F = ma , we realize that the force of the wind, as compared to its speed, roughly speaking, increases exponentially.We're oversimplifying it a bit, but for rough-and-ready field purposes, we can estimate that if one wind is two times the speed of another, then its force is two squared, or four times, as great as the force of the lesser wind.
A wind ten times as fast as another is ten squared, or one hundred, times more forceful than the lesser wind.

Even Geraldo gets her...he told Jeff Goldblatt he should keep her for his co-anchor.
She's a gem.
good....yeah I am home now.
sad and somewhat worried I guess...
Waiting to see how bad the storm is going to be for all those people.
I heard him say 360,000 MRE's.
That explains it then...
She's been having a tough time all day keeping it together - but this is the most emotional yet
thanks for the DSU update
