Truly a massive storm. I don't recall seeing one so big come ashore.

Nice "Adult Toy Store" on the video from the French Quarter.

I had heard that the Alabama was a storm refuge. It's really hard to believe that it just disappeared and nobody knows where it is. It's pretty hard to miss. It's gigantic.

Still shaking my head over this one...

...but does that mean that if the evacuation has ended you have to go ahead and take the vacation on the bare remaining floor slab where the condo used to be?

The track of Katrina looks a lot further west than any of last years including Ivan which curved east and Charlie which hugged the east coast. Although Katrina is larger than either of those, I think there won't be much rain on the east slopes. Here's a link to last year's tracks http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/tracks/2004atl.gif

I am still trying to find an actual story on it. It was a report on our local TV here, my wife said it was also reported on TV earlier today, and I have seen a few mentions on forum --- BUT still no confirmation, and like you I find it hard to believe they can't find a Battleship.

I was active duty in the USCG when Andrew hit, I flew in less than 12 hours after Andrew passed and stayed in the area for two weeks afterward. These things you "heard" did not happen. ORRRR, maybe I'm in on it too.

NN.. thanks so much for continuing this effort of keeping info lines open.. I have followed as well as possible - your "check in " thread is a great Idea also Howlin.. Spiff's map w/FReeper locations is great. Prayers continue for all. We have a few days til it visits here in NE Ohio & will just be rain.

CNN reporter says that Ward 9 is totally flooded - houses are mostly 1 story - water up to the roofs. (this is west of New Orleans and I-10 is completely under water)

So how are the dark forces of NOAA keeping things quiet among the hundreds or thousands of people that must "know?"

If you come forward, Max Mayfield puts on a black Ninja outfit and sneaks into your home at night and garottes your family?
