That made me smile. Glad to see that in the discussion.
I went to bed last night KNOWING that New Orleans was going to be destroyed. That last minute jog and decrease of intensity appears to have saved it. If the levees hold for another couple of hours, which they probably will, the city will have escaped a death sentence.
It's not over yet, but I am so elated at the moment. I guess I now know what it must be like to be bi-polar, because I can't imagine a more significant mood swing in the past 12 hours.
