The report at the time was that a lot of the money went towards revamping their telephone and computer systems.

I see why they are doing it. The storm will still be tropical when it hits and they don't want the kiddies standing out in 30 to 60 mile wind gusts. It is going to hit in the late night and morning hours.
Look what it is doing to Georgia now.

As the storm move up into the Ohio Valley and beyond, all the rain it dumps even in an area like Northwestern PA will eventually come back down past New Orleans (from the Allegheny to the Ohio to the Mississippi). Though, the drought in the upper Missouri River drainage area might balance that a bit.

Looters should be shot and killed, then displayed publicly as a discouragement to other potential looters.

We haven't heard of anything yet. My wife's family is off of Three Rivers, by the Reservation. Ping if you hear something?

We've had no word since midmorning.
