Laz apologized and dropped the humor. Now more noise is coming from people piling on him than he initially created. Can we please try to keep this thread on topic, as news is going to be coming in fast and furious?

just hush and you'll be fine. nothing more infuriating than some bozo (and you are acting just like one on this thread) keeping all the attention on themselves while adding zip,zero, zilch.

reports are coming in re Chalmette and it's not looking good at all.

After an incredible rain, my manufacturing plant flooded. One customer drove his truck into the plant creating waves with white caps and water started coming into the offices. I had to put up a "NO WAKE ZONE" sign.
