Yes and not long ago I saw video on Fox of lake charles and the dang street lights were still on. Amazing.
Well, you would think they would be more discretionary... considering a 50k image will take about 10 seconds to load on dial up anyway. ;-) An extra second or two in the middle of the night won't hurt anyone. Heh, I got a post pulled as Katrina was hitting about Tsunami like surge because I excerpted wrong! Oh well..
GOES 12 blackout ends:

KPLC News Director says that there are trees on top of houses.
It was a window which blew out of the conference room at the hospital, not the roof.
Transmitter is still working for KPLC.
Amen and amen.

Our house is less than 1 minute from Geraldo Rivera, who's at our Holiday Inn. Please post any information about any reporting from him as to winds and storm surge there!!
We're in Mansfield, LA, 20 min from Shreveport. No cable, ONE TV station! And I'm a news junkie!
Who does MSNBC have out reporting and from what locations?
We did get to see Shep Smith over dinner making a big show over at Entergy, hilarious. Totally surreal to see Beaumont and Port Arthur, TX all over the national news.
We're very worried. But you FReepers are the best source of news there is.
These Lake Charles developments are scary. We have elderly relatives in Deridder, just north. I pray for them.
Those images took about a second to load on my dialup. :)
Where's the screen with FR on it in that pic? :-)
Heh, it's a regional quality. :-)
Well, you know, they can take the girl out of Texas, but can't take Texas out of the girl!
I run them through PS to make them more bandwidth friendly. It's hard to get them below 50k though. It's been a while since I used dialup, but I try. ;-)
If you can figure them out then you are doing better than me. Thanks for the images of the eyewall comming on shore. Has this thing really slowed down in forward speed? It seems to be taking forever to come on shore.
We should do Freeper coverage of a disaster one time....oneline feed, etc
"These Lake Charles developments are scary. We have elderly relatives in Deridder, just north. I pray for them."
I'll say a prayer for them too! Stay safe!
I'll maybe e-mail his mom and dad, they know his exact home address.
Good morning everybody.
I'm trying to catch up after being away for 4 hours (sleep). Whatever happened to Shep and Geraldo?? Been watching Fox for 45 minutes, now, and the absence of melodrama is remarkable.
Wind has picked up here in Tyler, Texas. I went outside to let my labs out and to see if it was raining. No rain yet. I suspect that will start before too long. The wind has been kicking probably 15-20 mph for the last 4-5 hours.
Official, just made landfall... 3:40a.m.
