I believe it's much more securely anchored (as are most museum ships) than your average operating vessel just secured to a pier.

But when I bad I'm better.....:o)

I think you'll still have the event.....they'll have that hotel fixed before they fix Ma and Pa Kettles home down there IMO.....money is served first. But then if it's all bad you may have to share your room with fifty or so refugees.

Good luck on your song......what are ya singing or is that a secret ?

At least you don't have to be running back and forth to the tube in the next room...I'm envious!;-)

Other than the flooding that will occur, it looks like NO really dodged a bullet.

More like the bullet missed NO's vital organs.

Did I not see trolls posting that the National Guard was all in Iraq and unavailable to assist in this hurricane?

Looks like concrete and steel win this round.

Good deal.

If it sunk most of it would still be above the water line.

Some guys on FR like the drama, even if it means bad things. They do not like to hear good news.

8 feet in Arabi? It's not out way off in the boonies...but it's near east New Orleans, by Bayou Bienvenu, probably pretty close to the eye wall. I used to live in New Orleans East and go to church in Arabi....wow...

Cell phones aren't working, but they do have land line communication.

SBC must be glad to hear that ...
