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.

KFWB got a hold of New Orleans News Crew. They are not in Downtown New Orleans. They moved away. That was not a report from downtown. They did lose power where they are located now about 20 miles west of New Orleans city. Horizontal Sheets of Rain. Tropical Storm Force winds there now. Severe winds expected in 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Ron White (comedian) on the stupidity of riding out a hurricane becasue you think you are in good enough physical shape to handle it:

it's not that the wind is a- blowin'

it's WHAT the wind is blowin'

aint gonna help much .
