it was gridlocked in Houston earlier...
xm reports currently:
wb 10 heavy to Houston from La. state line
All of this coverage is annoying. I want to know what the latest is with the Natalee Holloway and Olivia Newton John boyfriend dissapearences....
...they are expecting the levees to break..."
Heard that earlier, too. If they do, NO is history. so sad. Spent many wonderful evenings there listening to jazz at nite and attending Cajun cooking school during the day. Bought my favorite cooking pot there--a cast iron wok that will give one a hernia to get it down from the rack--but never mind--a Cajun meal from it will put one in bed for a week.
WWL-TV is streaming (somehow) from Baton Rouge. http://www.wwltv.com
And yes, they're broadcasting from a college set with a bad greenscreen behind them - but they're still on the air, still in there - without teleprompters.
I'd be surprised if anyone is still there, but it's an unusual place.
Recreational activities include shark hunting on Leander Perez's fishing boat - with a machine gun. Big fun.
Does this make our hurricane thread a trifecta? Two Admin Mod's and the Sidebar Mod!!!
(Which Admin Moderator did you forget to put in the To: box?)
Then, this causeway would totally freak you out!
WWL TV (CBS) in New Orleans still has a live feed:

That guy is a moron. Earlier today he talked about a seven foot levee that would be overflowed but he said it was a pretty levee.
maybe they will both wash up...
My mom made the pretzels at Xmas and we just went crazy for them. Since then, we've probably gone thru about 50 bags of Kisses! My daughter and I joke about how much chocolate we've eaten in 8-9 months.
AND you can get the kisses in all flavors now. Our fav is the vanilla/chocolate kisses. Yum!
There is supposed to be an update then.
"That makes two of us."
Make that at least three of us. But I was lambasted for saying so.
Now I'll just go back to my seat, keep a low profile and continue praying.
--- 785,000 have evacuated from Jefferson Parish.
The woman in the ditch must be pitching a fit >:^)
She's mere hours away--NO evac was a disaster by design. Glad you could stop by tonight!
I have to admit that is a pretty cool map.
I was away for a few minutes...
Are there still vehicles stuck on the freeways?
According to the radio program I heard they were using buses to transport to the dome.
