It may be an ordeal now with kids but it didn't used to be. When my family went on vacation the kids sat in the back seat and the worst thing we ever did was to ask "Are we almost there yet?" No coloring books, no computers, no video. We were told to look out the window and learn something. They did't have to tell us to be quiet.
Exactly.
The next time somebody gives her a ration or says she's "not the boss of these threads," I'm going to call a vote and we shall see just who is who around here......LOL.
Hey Ken, how are you today?
ACK! Where is that website for the Lake water meters? We had it in the Katrina tread but I'm not sure I wan to troll through all those replies to find it.
We have high surf advisories all the way over here in Tampa Bay from this storm. Imagine what coastal Louisiana is getting right now.
I fixed it in post 1568. I apologize brothers4thID.
4, but you have the rest right.
It's ok. Lets get back to taking out our frustrations on the stupid hurricane.
I thought it was, and, given the luxury of seeing later replies, I know it was.
And ditto to what you said about NN, you can look at my posts to her on Katrina Chronicles. Almost gushing in praise;)
Now, back to the storm...
Dr Steve was on Weather Channel. Some high water 2-4 feet project to come into NOLA.
And buoy Station 42001 - MID GULF 180 nm South of Southwest Pass, LA. has gusts to 73.8 knots and wave height to 30.8 feet.

Fox news has reported that the military is using gas tank trucks in designating areas along the highway for folks who run out of gas...don't ask me how they'll do it! That's what the reporter said! Military type gas tank trucks, like the ones used in Iraq or something like that! People are seen walking up the highway, I guess it's folks who ran out of gas...scary!
and ya know, they've yet to do a story on 911. debating whether this is the year to drop subscription after 30 years.
no, a 4
Grazie! :)
I remember playing "Car Bingo" on our long trips, or be the first one to call out seeing a license plate from a certain state.
GUNA has the best error stats. Bar none! Yet no one calculates it!
Freeper way ahead of the curve
I45 isn't the only place people are stuck. People are stuck all over Houston. They face dying by flood or the knockout wind depending on where this hits. This is a dangerous situation for those people.
1 pm intermediate advisory dropped her down to a Cat 4 with 150 mph winds and a pressure of 915 mb. A later recon flight found significantly-lower flight-level winds (125 knots) than was used to give the 150 mph estimate (135 knots), but the pressure dropped 1 mb to 914 mb.
There should be 1 more report from the hurricane hunters before the next full update at 4.
Bubba asked me to pass along a message.
"Eat my shorts"
Wasn't that something! Wee hours of the night, and I'm looking at those huge bold words...thinking I was so tired, I could almost believe they were intended for me. Admin Mod was cracking up laughing too...
