There was a "daily kos" post that blamed Bush and claimed God hates Repub but it seems to have disappeared. It was pretty sad.
Well said. It does no good to worry about the aerodynamic properties of the Superdome roof at this point. Better at this point to pray and to figure out which charity (charities) to send money to.
wondering if your mom and my dad's side are related somewhere??? *LOL*
Now that you mention it, I really don't know. I just assumed he would meet up with the other Fox dudes in the dome. But I do know that they can't broadcast out of there like they thought they would be able to.
Am I the only one who really wants to know what is going on in there? Those people must be getting hungry 'bout now. And what happens when they cut the power in advance of the storm? (And they will...)
"We are not entertaining you but making ourselves ready for what is to come."
Exactly...I've wrapped towels around my crockpots in the past when the power went out and feed the family hot food for hours and hours.
Some people are so shortsighted, they are more fearful of looters and worldly things than losing their own lives...
Heard that the Dome is on higher ground. Wonder just HOW high?
Just mix cinnamon with brown sugar and put a lot of butter on the bread, dust it with the mixture and then toast it.
I'm quite sure he will go there. This will be a tragedy of epic proportions.
I love Jello!
Is it big enough to support 2 sports teams?
WWL-TV switching facilities from New Orleans to LSU in Baton Rouge.
Utah? No hurricanes there.
"The New Orleans radar still shows it bearing down right on top of the city. Some of the heavier bands nearer the center of the storm are starting to enter the city. Conditions south of the city look very bad
already, and getting much worse rapidly."
Using radar to plot the course is risky. The loops are too short to capture much more than one or part of one wobble.
I transfer the coordinates given by the Forecast Discussions and Vortex data to a mapping program and extrapolate at very high resolution.
Still, with the forecast curve to the north, straightline approximations are all but useless this far out, so I've been plotting the +12 and +24 hour computer model positions too.
Right now they say the eye passes some 25 miles east of the center of downtown New Orleans, while the straightline approximations show it passing less than or equal to the same distance west of downtown.
If you understand the ramifications of the geometry of whatever strike we get out of this, you see that the ambivalence makes what I'm doing worthless for predictive purposes, but it does help us keeop track of trends over time.
I never thought of that -- I am about out of Tobasco and Louisiana Hot Sauce. Was at the grocery earlier today. Know where I am going first thing!
Thanks for the reminder.
God bless you. You are doing an outstanding job and providing an invaluable service.
Your name is appropriate.
Yeah, Utah will benefit, after all, it doesn't have a football nor a basketball team ;).
