Cafe Du Monde may be saved if they sandbagged it with their stock of powdered sugar bags.
I gotta git back ta werk. :o)
It slows GE down a bit, but otherwise very nice. Thanks.
WDUS has been talking about the Hilton all morning. I think someone misreported the Hyatt.

Blow out preventer.
Very cool live report on TWC...Simon is saying (he's with Cantori) the first floor is underwater...looked out and saw their car covered with water..and during the time he gave the report the water rose 3 inches.
Danger can be exhilarating, then habituation. We're getting used to it. He's getting used to it.
Real reporting on what's happening can be mixed with the drama queen stuff, but nonstop standing in the wind is boring. The reporters level of excitement will stay longer than ours, but so what?

Maybe some information about the refineries, the chemical plants, underground pipes and what effect that might have. What's the real danger? Cams at those locations. A few structural engineers - what buildings can take what force - building codes - what can be done? Gimme some meat boys.

Times like these I wish I had a ham radio!
Oh good
I agree, but FNC renewed his contract. When he first joined FNC, I sent them so many emails protesting his hiring. They finally blocked my emails. What a 'pant load'. FNC is never on when Geraldo, "The Fake", and Greta, "Clutch Cargo", appear.
I say again: What a time to be thinking about sex.
Storm surges now expected to be 15ft or lower, not 20-38 as earlier predicted

Maybe someone will post some info...
