Someone else just posted that it appears Phillipe is dying out. He was supposed to be dying out over the past few days, but it looks like he's trying not to die. Doesn't mean he'll come back to life, but he bears watching.

Who was it the other night who had 4 cases of beer, 4 boxes of ammo, and a box of Little Debbies? I've only got 3 1/2 cases of beer.
This afternoon I'll start on the jack-n-coke to preserve the supply.

FNC showing levees breaching in new orleans. From what I gather, the Industrial canal is overtopping - the water is higher than the solid levee, and is running over the top - like if you fill a batchtub past its top. When you turn the water off, the tub is still full of water.
A breach would be poking a hole in the tub, so it drains to someplace below it's designed top.
Also, the overtopping is on the east side of the Industrial Canal, flooding St. Bernard and 9th ward - not the city proper.
The location of the 17th Street canal breach is "downstream" (now, but would be considered upstream if the canal is used for moving water back into the lake) of a steel sheet piling that isolates that part of the canal from the lake.

(The task before us is enormous, but so is the heart of America.)
"Up until Rita, everyone was pretty upbeat," New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin (search) said Thursday during a blustery outdoor news conference amid intermittent rain. "Now that Rita has come into the picture, it's been difficult." ~Happy Days are here again~
"Happy Days are here again," Said New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin. "Yes, the water's down, Come back into town. Happy days are here again."
A storm named Rita's coming strong, Nagin fears the levees won't last long. He'll repeat his hymn To folks he once made swim, "Don't blame me. I'm never wrong."

"The official forecast calls for philippe to become absorbed and dissipate within 24 hours. However... If present trends continue...Philippe could dissipate even sooner."

Looks like it's well on the way to becoming a breach.

Phillipe jealous of all the attention that Rita is getting? He's been forecast for the past few days to go north, but now he's going east. Reminds me of how Jeanne fooled everybody last year.

Well, dirt, start screaming because you know what? They will get FEMA money and they are the ones who can also afford the flood insurance fees.

And all those others advising against it, just imagine.
