Reports have been from 7,000 to 10,000 people. I don't know what the real count is, but not as large as we thought.

"Somebody pleeeeze tell this cubicle dweller that Harrigan has made it back inside!"

His last report said he's be back in the next hour.

My understanding is that he's shielded from the wind behind a wall, outside.

I agree - I think he's been an idiot this time.

Does that tunnel at Mobile flood?

They close the hurricane steel doors on both ends of the tunnel and then sand bag them.

It's alright. I just didn't understand BOP, and that coupled with the typo made for good jest.

I hope Central Grocery survives. Best muffies in the world.

What a time to be thinking about sex.

Exactly what I was thinking. But being such a serious thread and all, I'm glad you said it and not me.

Re: "Downtown Mobile Alabama now under 3 feet of water."

Wonder how the battleship USS Alabama is holding up?

It seems like last night the number was about 25,000-30,000 and then I read a post in this thread saying 9,000 people were inside. Anyone know about this discrepancy?

Could it be explained as "hype"?

It's the worst hurricane ever because he's in it.

What a grandstanding, phony, pompous ass he is.

They have storm doors on the Hwy. 90 tunnel, and the entrances to the I-10 tunnel are pretty high - at least as high as the Bayway. If water comes in there, build an ark. But I saw a press report from Mobile earlier and the Bankhead (90) was open.

It's coverage was impressive IMO this time and I'll e-mail em and say so......XM---247 !

They linked all around their nooze channels from BBC to ABC radio, CNN, FNC all night along with their own commentator putting in calls to the hurricane center and getting updates on the numbers and strenghts vs the average tallking heads ...oh this is bad or this is gonna be or maybe etc etc ....facts pretty much as I heard it.

Didn't have to channel chase at all.....:o)

A Bravo Zulu to the XM 247 folks thus far.....

I agree I have been there a couple times. I was one of the few people that actually won a lot of money in that Casino resort. Also we charted a boat, and went deep sea fishing. It was pretty fun..
