I had no idea they started putting street lights out in the Gulf to direct boats..

Waves from Hurricane Katrina crash against a boat washed onto Highway 80 in Gulfport, Miss.

Yep, but it's been housed in Slidell forever, to minimize ground clutter off of NO's highrise district.

Ok he can stay outside but he needs to be off camera.
As another poster said, he gives people the idea that it is okay to be out in a cat 4 hurricane. That is just dangerous. Let him be stupid on his own time.

I haven't been able to pull up SRV imagery for an hour, but Base Reflectivity updated as late as 9 am.

I know exactly where you are describing. Don't know about people in the parking garages. Nothing would surprise me at this point.

Remember the barge/tanker that crashed into the Hilton years ago?

You mispelled "catastrophic computer virus". Hope this helps.

Just for that I'm not inviting you to the leather and bondage fashion show.

And I know how much you wanted to model the ball gag.

"Saints will play the entire season on the road I guess."

If the SuperDome is damaged and unsafe, can they play in Baton Rouge? Doesn't LSU have a stadium there?

My new neighbors just came over, their son is here visiting. His house is in SW NO. No idea how his home is doing.

I'm going to check TWC station now.
