Olive of course.

Naw. Jump in.......things are much calmer now.

Some random thoughts...

Just watched some college students on FNC at the Super Dome. They seem to be smiling, enjoying this like it was a like cutting class...

Gad! The stupidity of this make me cringe...

I cannot help but expect the worse for New Orleans... Call it my black dog mood, but I feel helpless as if watching two trains speeding head on at each other and not being able to do anything...

The D-Day Museum in in New Orleans along with many other historical sites. All these may be under 20 to 30 feet of water.

My prayers are for those in Katrina's path not only in New Orleans but in the surrounding Gulf Coast area.

Thanks for all of your support, information and just being there for all of us.

The mayor should be in jail IMHO. He had NO plan if you ask me.

[CindyDawg]

If so, there is no excuse for this. They should loose their certification/licenses. Bless the one that stayed.

[JustaCowgirl]

"WWL-TV just noted that the SuperDome's single primary generator is underground... No word on any secondary generators."

They'd better have plenty of candles then.

I have family that live in Slidell. North shore...they evacuated but any chance they will have homes not under water?

[STARWISE]

So YOU'RE the one sending me those enticing emails regarding your inheritance you want to share. I'll be calling soon with my bank account # .. been busy scouting palatial estates.

How long does eye wall replacement take? If the process is still going on at landfall, that is great news. If there is time for eyewall to complete, that is BAD news. Last night there was a huge spike of power after replacement.

Anyone remember how long it took? When is projected landfall?

[rwfromkansas]

interesting. But, could it complete the ERC before landfall and strengthen again?

[CobaltBlue]

The NO mayor was just on a few minutes ago and they are expecting the levees to break.

That's too much. My prayers to all who face this danger, may the Good Lord protect them and keep them, and may His Perpetual Light shine upon them.

Hey, isn't there an update coming up at 1 AM?

There is supposed to be an update then.

Central or Eastern time?

Um, that would probably be the stealth one, who is usually assigned to following me around to make sure I don't spam key words.

;-D

I am on the ABC affiliate out of Baton Rouge -- some of the New Orleans people are there at the Baton Rouge station.

[Howlin]

I've never seen two such simpletons in charge as that governor and that mayor.

He didn't think he had the AUTHORITY to evacuate his city? Well, who did?

[NautiNurse]

What is the latest update on your family? Did they evacuate?

[DoughtyOne]

The word moron was the first that occurred to me also. I actually typed it in and returned to remove it. I didn't want to add any insult to the NO inhabitants insulting their mayor.

I agree with you. He couldn't even read the order. It was rather embarassing. I'm sure he was nervous, but it made me uncomfortable to watch him. He sure wouldn't promote confidence in me if I lived in NO.
