It is cloudy and drizzly in the Memphis area. We are going to get 30 mph winds tonight and then the worst tomorrow.

I agree. Shep sounds like he's drawing conclusions when the story isn't over yet.
Continued prayers for protection.

The competition is being held in the
New Orleans Arena.
Everyone sings 2 songs in the first round. If you're good enough to make it to the finals, your group sings two more songs specific to the style then other extra songs to fill a 10-12 minute time slot on stage. My quartet is singing this one and this one, which was #1 on the Hit Parade in 1927 :-), in the first round.

When the news is overblown and exxagerated, I will point it out.

My sister told me this morning that her 7 year-old asked why almost all the people in the line were black. Of course, it was something we all noticed, but nobody but a child would say it. Bush's fault. I'm surprised CNN hasn't initiated an investigative report.

Fox: Shep reports people in NO standing on their rooftops in hurricane force winds in order to escape the rising water.I wonder if one of them is the dog walker who told Shep "it's none of your F'ing business" why he was still in NO.
My wife and I just stared blankly at each other.

Isn't it time for an update from the REAL crisis taking place in Aruba??

Hurricane Katrina's slight eastward tack has prompted Louisiana State University's hurricane forecasters to recalibrate their damage estimates from wind and flooding as the storm continues its trek toward land.
Computer models generated by a supercomputer at the LSU Hurricane Center from Sunday's 10 p.m. advisory project a "worst-case scenario" of 329,000 buildings in southeast Louisiana sustaining at least some wind damage. That's down from an earlier forecast of a half-million homes damaged, said Marc Levitan, director of the hurricane center.
Storm-surge estimates outside the levee system have also been revised downward to 16-18 feet in eastern New Orleans. Earlier estimates were for 20 feet.
Flooding was expected to be worst in Plaquemines, St. Bernard and eastern Orleans parishes and less severe to the west, Levitan said. Inside the levee system, water is expected to crest at 10 feet above ground-level in eastern Orleans, and at eight to 12 feet above ground-level in Kenner and Norco.
"It's not as bad as the (forecast) last night," Levitan said, referring to forecasts that were based on Sunday afternoon's projections of Katrina's path.

You sound like a well intentioned yet blatantly misinformed person. The vast majority of people that live in New Orleans proper are not anglo. It's like 3 to 1. Let's leave the man keeping you down out of this one, k?

Yes flooding from the levees that have been topped, The wind coming from the north will not help. A breach would be a hole in the levee, compromising it.
