Norman is getting ready for the Sooner kick-off next Saturday at 11:00 a.m. (TV time). My favorite time of the year. Got my season tickets about three weeks ago so we are all set.
Hope you get back this way someday! :)
OU is about to lease land on the edge of the airport along I-35 that will house the fifth largest mall in the Country. OU is going to make a fortune off that land the Navy gave them years ago.
The point is that evacuating a city is not a simple process.
No, it's not. But doing nothing, having no evacuation plans for people who have no means to move themselves, then herding them into a questionable shelter is a little too easy.
Tonight's the night.
Price gouging???
you have mail.
Stay out there long and you won't be. I have a bike as well and I been well over 100 mph on it. If a person is protected and in a debris free area then it's not a big deal.
Housing 50,000 to 100,000 people in hurricane conditions wouldn't involve a debris free situation.

Love that bumper music.
Why, yes, I am.
But only in a good she's-a-Texan kinda way.
You better get busy to catch up...we've been praying for a long while now.

No. I'm asking about the redio ststion which I am not receiving on my radio
Amtrak has union rules too! The first rule would be not to operate because the dispatcher (another union member) has the hazardous weather outlook in his comm center.
Since they have already started looting, I would agree with that analysis.
I've been doing that all day...

Right. Which is why we are suggesting that a plan that evacuated persons to shelters in Baton Rouge would have been preferable, since there is no storm surge danger there.
People do NOT die from 100 mph wind. Don't be ridiculous.
Actually, that statement is probably true but not in the sense that the reporter probably meant it.
In July we were on the way back (to NC) from northern VA about the time that Hurricane Dennis was heading for FL. We saw many trucks from power companies and tree removal companies already headed south from places like PA. We also saw a mobile emergency center. They "stage" them closer to where they'll be needed ahead of time (but far enough away to not be in danger) so they can arrive on the needed site much quicker.
I'm sure that today crews were already on the way ... but certainly not heading into the danger zone yet.
WWL went off the air at 1240am
