01:12HRS CNN saying their live reporter (Gulf Shores)should be in eye within one-half hour.
what you need to do is FREEP the blogs on NOLA.com and pose those same questions!
Has anyone heard if the guard has been called out by any governor of the gulf states?
Every time I click over there they are reading a bulletin.
Any reports?
He's reporting it was much worse in Frances.
the guard was in New Orleans...but not too many...half are deployed in Iraq.
There are no reports coming back. Net control just read an estimated prediction of the storm's location, then back to silence.
God I hope not! Military people are humans also and I would hate to have them in danger tonight.
In the morning, then the guard can get involved. But not tonight!
Check out the info I posted on #276.

Why in hell do they not have firearms?
