Yes, only I'm streaming WDUS
I'm happy to see you can still be with us.
Stay safe.
David Asman won't be doing his regular spot. He will be doing Fox specials
I agree. My point though, is that I don't take any of it seriously. Ya know.
I'm watching PMSNBC and they just flashed a screen saying that the President will release some reserves.
Good point!
Drive faster and swing a little North.
But if we lose refining capacity, what would be the point? It's still crude oil.
Take a knee and thank our Lord that He lessened the fury of this storm.
His wife Mary calls him "serpenthead".
From storm2k message board:
An amazing phone call just aired on The Weather Channel a few minutes ago from Jim Cantore's producer, Simon Temperton. The two of them are at the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Miss. (current conditions), where they have sought refuge from rapidly rising floodwaters on the second floor along with 300-400 residents of the home.
Here's some of what Simon reported in his phone call:
"We're going through some unbelievable conditions. Water is seeping into the building. I'd say we've had at least a 20-feet [of] storm surge. It has washed away all our rental cars, and everything else [in the parking lot]...
"Now water is seeping into the home and they are evacuating everyone to the second floor. I'm standing in 5 or 6 inches of water [on the second floor]. The power is out. There are a few emergency lights. It's a very daunting prospect right now....
"It's a very dangerous situation. I've been doing this for 15 years, and [I've] been Mr. Cantore's producer for many hurricanes, and I've never seen anything like this. This is probably the scariest situation we've ever been in -- just the sudden rise of water and how fast. They said we were good here for 27, 30 feet [of storm surge] -- they've never seen anything like it. They thought we were completely safe.
"We're not even shooting [video] anymore. We're basically in self-preservation [mode] right now. We're helping people put up boards and sandbags to keep the water from coming in. We've become part of the crew.
"In the time we've been talking, the water has risen, I'd say, another 3 inches. It's up to the top of my boots. The water keeps rising."

I'm in Lafayette. The only thing I can say about the Superdome with any fair degree of certainty is that Katrina has drawn a bigger crowd to the Superdome than the Saints will all season....
And lets thank him for forgiving us so often for being stupid.
Was wondering if you caught that...:-)
Saw all the debate on Tulane Stadium vs Sugar Bowl. I heard people refer to that old thing as both when I was growing up. I remember with fondness the Saints main defensive strategy against other teams in that stadium... the hedges at the end of the end zone.
pfft.
This website has gone straight downhill. Attention whoring left and right, little of substance. Nearly worthless as a source of information. Or some religio-nutbag making a case for the taliban being moderate.
Was it his choice or FoxNews choice? David Asman was one of my favorites, mainly 'cause he's so conservative.
Absolutely! I never trust initial reports in situations such as this...
That is very good news--thank you for the update.
