My mother used to joke about people not having enough sense to come in out of the rain--Harrigan meets that description..



Or when the Lord said brain he thought He said
rain and went inside.
I switched to "Simply Quilts" on HGTV

Ed Reams of WDSU: Daylight seen through roof of Superdome. Reporter has sense a big piece is about to "peel off." Something like a 1/12th slice of the pie.

Morning, all. BTTT to check in later...watched a bit of FNC coverage this morning before work.

[Kozak]

Local TV station out of NO reports WORST is over for NO. Eye is passing to the East of the city. Maybe NO dodges the bullet....

I am focused more on the fact that eyewall replacement was responsible for Katrina's almost immediate intensification from a Category 2 to a Category 5 storm while out in the Gulf.

If he stands up straight, he will!

Harrigan needs to get inside. He's headed straight for an Anderson Cooper moment.

[Broker]

CNN reporting sections of Dome's roof off with more sections likely to go.....

[CobaltBlue]

I stand corrected, there are about 50 of these pumps, they are 14 ft. in diameter in Orleans Parish.

Hmmm, well that's a good sign. I'd rather they be on the ground than anywhere else.

It also helps if they've got 4 tires on the ground. :-)

[Interesting Times]

I believe the Superdome has leaked before and been patched. Bet the leak is where it was patched before. Just a guess, though.

And not a bad one...

[Shazbot29]

I think the brunt of the storm will hit NO in about an hour?

Yikes! Prayers for all in the affected areas!!

Maybe he is still all busy with Jlo's Block Party. 8^)

CNN: WDSU reporter on the inside of the Superdome can see daylight looking through the roof. Predicts that roof may be peeled off.

[Sender]

Yes if you start seeing police vehicles in the air, then the eye wall has arrived.

[LibertyRocks]

Reporting Hwy 90 in Harrison Country is under several feet of water.

[LadyBuzz]

Looking for Larry, Daryl & Daryl? LOL

Jackie! The best attitude of anyone in her situation I've ever seen. An inspiration is right.
