I agree. Nobody wants to see that guy standing outside. I keep having visions of his head being severed by flying debris. What is he really contributing here?

Winds . .135 along the eyewall, storm surge . . 20+ feet

So the heads are not babbling about dodging a bullet anymore, I assume?

Goodness. He's taking a terrible risk for not much in terms of interesting reporting, imo.

If I was his wife, the nagging would be so bad he'd never do it again :-)

Pumps went out a couple of hours ago. A reporter I heard said they would not be able to be turned back on until the water is gone which could be quite a while... Don't know if you knew this or not - apologies if I am posting repetitive news. (o:

Holes Open Up in Louisiana Superdome Roof

Monday, August 29, 2005
Associated Press


NEW ORLEANS — Hurricane Katrina ripped away part of the roof on the Louisiana Superdome as thousands of storm refugees huddled inside Monday.

Strips of metal were peeled away, creating two holes that were visible from the floor of the huge arena. Water dripped in and people were moved away from about five sections of seats directly below.

Others watched as sheets of metal flapped visibly and noisily. From the floor, more than 19 stories below the dome, the openings appeared to be 6 feet long.

If the picture of the cop car is canal street then some serious flooding is occuring in New Orleans.

"I keep having visions of his head being severed by flying debris. What is he really contributing here?"

Maybe they should hype that possibility as a way of getting more viewers?

LOL, I had to do some remote work and run to the bank. Been gone for about 2 hours.

I just got back and Harrigan is right where I left him. He must be a glutton for punishment, or maybe he was one of those little kids that liked to play in the mud.

Did he get hit by anything else?
