The storm is slowing down. Almost surely that means that it's going to start a northward shift.

It may give a few more hours for New Orleans residents to get out by slowing down, but the forecast track hasn't changed.

Fox news reports that the bars are full and people are still shopping like any other weekend.

By noon on Monday their attitude will have changed.

Unbelievable, isn't it?

This is beginning to sound like a bad movie..where people refuse to leave a potential disaster area as we sit in our seats cringing. Very scary.

once it is picked up by the atmosphere, the slowing down should come to an end.

Well, that's no surprise that nobody's aware of the situation. We've got FOX covering the Holloway case, MSNBC talking about the new 3 disc version of the movie Gladiator and CNN running a program about unicycles (I kid you not).

This makes me wish John Hope was still alive. His Weather Channel coverage of hurricanes was legendary. Supposedly Camille was named after his daughter or vice versa.

Thanks for the update. Maybe in New Orleans many feel everyday is Mardi Gras, have a party until the TV is floating out the door and the rain is filling up what remains of the house, since the roof blew away an hour ago.

The White House on Saturday asked residents along Louisiana's southeastern coast to heed authorities' advice to evacuate as Hurricane Katrina headed for landfall.
