Yup. #13 is headed toward the Outer Banks for now, although it's still way out there. #14 still seems to be organizing, and isn't quite official yet. It's way over by the Cape Verde Islands. They will be Lee and Maria if they get names.

Don't worry...I heard a rumor that Shep Smith will be going around to all the city webcams and wiping the water droplets of the lenses!

I was listening to coast to coast radio program right before I got up. A woman was really upset about how the mayor did not have a plan for evacuation of the city.

She mentioned that single individuals are in nursing homes caring for people.

One of the early threads yesterday mentioned it.

She made it out of the city but begged people to pray for those left behind.

And if he gets blown away . . . . . oh, well.

Well, in between gusts they may be fine, but the gusts look really bad.

News reporter on KFWB Los Angeles radio was just supposed to go live with some news crews hunkered down in Downtown New Orleans. They could not go live. Not due to malfunctions, but due to the following second hand quote out of the New Orleans news anchor 'There is a lot of #$%%$$ going on'. Apparently in last 20 minutes the > 100 MPH winds have hit.

I worry about Shep speaking a little too soon. He seemed much too calm.
