do you know of any city that has evacuation plans of moving 100,000 people OUT of the city?

Just curious: do you know of any other city BELOW sea level that has been under threat of a BIG BAD hurricane for the last 100 years that doesn't have a plan?

"It will turn" is NOT a plan, Jeff.

You're either being deliberately obtuse or just damn disengenuous.

They HAVE a plan; FEMA has a plan...........but they didn't implement it IN TIME.

Caller to Art Bell just said gasoline futures are up 20 cents in Chicago

That'll mean about $1 more here in SoCal. ;)

If these elected morons can "canvass" neighborhoods for votes...

Bet they could bus hundreds of thousands to the polls. Geez even the graves are above ground... all the more convenient for the circulation-challenged voters.

Jeff--I'm really beginning to believe you fibbed about ever being in a hurricane. Shame on you.

So you are saying that "these people" are just better off dead? I think every last one of them would rather be "crammed" into a knook for a week than drowning.

But that's just me. Call me crazy.

All night long the Weather Channel has been trying to say it looks like it is moving due north but the local New Orleans channels have said it is still moving to the NW.

NNNW would be my way of describing it.

That's what I was figuring, considering conservation of angular momentum, which is why I've been watching for it.
