Yeah, he's really nervous, mainly because his wife is so scared.
She also grew up here in eastern NC and is all-too-familiar with hurricanes.

This is a 1998 modelling of a CAT 4 or CAT 5 moving through New Orleans in a worst case scenario path. It includes a good mapping of the levee system.

Harrigan is stupid at this point. Him and his whoas are getting annoying, until that sign takes him out.

Trust me, NOLA DID dodge a MOAB; the destruction that would have ensued if they were to the east of the eye would have been far greater...

And the response will be...

"But we survived Russian Roulette this time, so it MUST be safe!"

Steve is waiting for a big sign or a tree to fall on himself. I have never seen anything more stupid in my life. He is clutching his pants,,I don't know if he wet them or is protecting the family jewels.

Am I nuts or is this nuts?

Cantore...this is definitely what separates the men from the women.

Is Harrigan REALLY locked out of the hotel?

NJ... with the exception of my little apt. here, I don't think there IS a Red part.. : ) Didn't know if you were anywhere near this...

Ya know, I'm watching FNC now (and all of the networks are doing the same thing) and these guys reporting while standing in the belly of the hurricane to show the wind strength and eventually one of them is going to get impaled with a stop sign...

These guys need to get the hell indoors, you know??

Steve's locked out of the hotel...When he's off camera, he stands behind a wall.

Good Lord! Steve Harrigan is evidently locked outside the hotel! He was just asked and he said they were locked out and take shelter next to the hotel.
