I'm sure Shep's reversed red ballcap is OSHA compliant...
BTW does OSHA mean "Oh Shinola! Head Amputated!"

Shep says glass is breaking in the French Quarter. We call the broken glass mother nature's ninja throwing stars.

Shep's cap is on backwards. He probably thinks he looks cute.
To: oceanview
"and add to that they "they hyped it" mantra that will be leveled against the weather service and hurricane center - they will never be able to convince people to evacuate NO again."
Well, that will remain to be seen in the future. This was a LEGITIMATE storm with all the bad signs and proof to back it up that evacuation WAS necessary. Murphys Law, if they hadn't evacuated things would have or still could get worse.
IT AIN'T OVER TILL THE FAT LADY SINGS. People are calling the aftermath way too soon.

"Grand Isle is about 45 miles due south of NO."
Just heard, Grand Isle was the point of hit.

Mississippi is going to get the worst of this.
To: sonofatpatcher2
Shep IS an idiot and he made similar comments last year during one of the Florida hurricanes. He makes it sound like the officials were stupid for calling for an evac when the storm isn't quite as bad as was expected. It is just the kind of reporting that makes gubermint officials gun-shy to call a timely evac and makes people decide to stay home and ride the next one out. If I was playing Jack McCoy, I'd charge him with reckless endangerment, if they ever wrote a script on this.

On generator. No cooling. Currently... The generators are for emergency lighting and such.
They'd have to be humongous to run the AC system for the Dome.

Mississippi I believe.
