sort of. they went off in NO proper but moved their operation to Baton Rouge and are at LSU.
Have a hunch you would be stepped on a lot if you did!
Mark.
I've still got WWL.
Radio?
OK. I've still got the streaming TV feed.
The wind itself isn't what kills them, it's the metal sheets and such that fly around in the wind that does.
I'll let you, then!
I should confess here that I talk about you in that good he's-a-Texan kinda way, too.
A friend of mine works for PECO. When something like that happens, he's one of the guys they sometimes send out. It happens pretty often.
One reporter said they might have to leave the ballrooms to move upstairs several floors if the water gets too high. Most hotels ballrooms are on the ground or first floor that I have seen.
Beats the heck out of sitting at a dead stop in a traffic jam on the Ponchatrain Bridge or interstate... with your kids. Or trying to walk (if you can walk)(if you know what's going down) to "the shelter"... (if you know where the shelter is.) If these elected morons can "canvass" neighborhoods for votes, bless bess, they can do it for the biggest storm known to hit the USA.
It's not going to be just a couple of days, IMO.
It takes weeks to move the military around and they do it for a living. By your logic, the entire US military should be able to move overseas in just a little more than a day.
We go through this exact same crap when it snows in Atlanta. It only happens every few years so the city doesn't have a fleet of snow plows to clear the snow. A few niave, busybodies complain afterward saying that the city "should have a fleet of trucks", but it's just not cost effective or reasonable.
Just curious because I don't know the answer, do you know of any city that has evacuation plans of moving 100,000 people OUT of the city?
Pretty sure he was talking about WWL AM.
The Eye is clearly defined on the NO Radar
Uh, did you READ the posts to you requesting linkage to a ststement that you posted earlier?
C'mon, Jeff--I want to know which hurricane you were in.
Well, you must be dead, then, according to Jeff.
My brother and his family just moved from Slidell back to Illinois last month. Boy, are they happy to be out of there!
