Or just have a helicopter land off the road, scramble out and give every gas, lift off, and go get another load of gas...
What a mess!
I have broken the little thingy in the back twice. Is it some sort of spring?
Yes, ma'am.
And Andy Cooper decided to join the hurricane party as well (also left of the storm) trying to blame the authorities for the traffic jams.
Is there ANY news station I can watch that won't make me run from the room screaming??
I just can't deal with that BS again with this storm
I don't know. I was multi-tasking.
This loop appears to show her getting meaner:

21 foot waves now being reported 64 miles south of Dauphin...
I assume this is water heading for the Ponchatrain??
Promise to eat as much crow as you can swallow if he's right again like he was with Katrina?
Nauti Nurse, you can't just catch a break can you? No vacation for you next week either!
Or maybe they should invest in digital gauges..
News? Nope (at least not nationally). Weather? There's always TWC. There's also the streaming links above if you've got broadband.
Glad to hear aunt and hubby are home.
Just got a report from sister, Alexis the Bengal Kitty located at Hw6 & Bellaire.
Her power went out so she called and after being directed to several different phone numbers she finally found a live person to talk to. She has power now but the interesting part is why the power is going out now. Seems the deadlocked traffic is causing it's own mini heat storm and is causing transformers to overheat.
My son is now at her house and will be staying with her through whatever happens. He's never been in any really bad weather or power outage so my sister is having to educate him on little things like not opening the refrigerator or freezer door and gaze at the goodie when the power is out. Bless his heart! Sometimes he doesn't have the sense God gave a goose.
If Shep saw an eagle swoop down to get a mouse for supper it would be "the dramatic cruelty of nature's wrath"
And Bill (the Babe) Hemmer is in New Orleans
Somebody needs to whisper in Geraldo's ear that spending the night with his finger in the leaking levee would really boost his ratings.

I lived in the southwest all my life until I moved to Waco...I never knew it could rain like that...seems like the storm cell just sat there are rotated for days on end. Quite an education for a desert rat! I think Katrina has put a scare in about everyone, may account for the run on the stores.
Just now transcribing Chris M on PMSNBC
Chris: Can you actually project these almost constant geometric turns
The rest is all the WeatherDude:
Turns are very erratic
98 degrees with 102 degrees heat index for people on hiways in Houston
New stuff, winds down to 145 (still old report) but bringing it ashore as Cat 4.
NOLA now under TS warning
Raining hard
Could rain there for 72 hours
Official forecast track has not changed much.
If you are on the right side of the landfall, etc. blah blah
We have indications this storm is starting to slow down.
Some computer models show storm stalling out in Eastern Texas, showing "squirrely lines" after land fall.
One to two feet of rain
Then, tributaries lead to Mississippi, and "we all know where those little rivers go"
Beaumont, Port Arthur is projected now as area of landfall
