Oh, I didn't even think of that!
Can you pull the post this is pinged to? The info is not right..
Wow--that's quite an increase in pressure.
It's wrong... sorry.
I should check my sources before pasting stuff. ;)
The news conference delay is probably because they were waiting for the latest info from the NHC, which goes public around 12:30-45 central, and are probably now digesting the updates before making the final call.
Also perhaps by calling it for noon and then having it stretched out it will get more viewers(potential evacuees) as more become aware of the news conference.
The cam of the Causeway looks the most congested of them all.
Up to 50,000 dead if Katrina hits New Orleans.
1 Million homeless.
22' high water.
This is from NOVA:

not looking good ,but the doomsday is when the storm hits NO from the SOUTHEAST up the river not SW or S--still bad,but not as bad as the DOOMSDAY SCENARIO
And it looks this afternoon as if it's going to happen.
The death toll would probably be enormous, and the economic damage beyond measure.
There is still enough time for forecast conditions to change, but I think that's a possibility, not a probability.
Exactly. Normally, considering I am not exactly in a location that leads to dangerous hurricanes.....just their remnants.....I look at these storms with fascination.
This one.....I really hope it goes east or weakens into nothing. If it hits NO, it would be awful.
12:20 pm -- Gov. Blanco is about to hold a press briefing on Hurricane Katernia. Listen on NewsRadio 1150 WJBO and www.wjbo.com
Just got this WJBO news alert....
At least you didn't post an unfinished sentence to a zillion folks on the ping list...
She's holding out until that magical 2PM deadline...
I hope not!
They said she just arrived.....FINALLY!
I know she's so dang stupid. I can't believe this state was so stupid, wait, yes I can. /roll eyes. I mean we could have had Bobby in charge and he would have definitely been in charge. Instead we have Maw Maw who can't decide whether or not she should go ahead and do something so that people won't die.
Leaders LEAD, dumba$$es fret and whine.
What's with that stupid pre-conference applause for the governor? Why bother with such BS?

"This will be a very positive experience for most?" What an idiot.
I lived across the street from 3 pretty nice mobile home communities ... indescribable decimation... between, around, under and on all the hundreds of just trailer slabs. Were you there?
