At 4PM...why in God's name haven't those lanes been open ALL DAY?

Because like in most states, inept Gov't employees are sitting in positions of authority making (non) decisions.

Shemp runs the risk of being buried there.

Another creepy thought - all the cemetaries are above ground crypts. Could get really nasty.

And THAT was using a slow-moving Category 3 (Pam to be exact) passing just west of New Orleans.

The guy that was just speaking on FOX said it would probably come in to shore at a Cat. 3...is that right?

The guy Shep is interviewing (Sam) should work for the National Weather Service.

He knows that the storm will weaken to a 3 or possibly a 4 just before it hits.

I feel better.

(rolling eyes)

I think we need that sheriff to give Sam a toe tag.

Did you hear that guy saying well it is a 5 right now but when it reaches shore it will be down to a 4 maybe a three and we will be okay.

Someone better be playing Amazing Grace cause those folks on Bourbon St are the Titanic right now.

24 hours ago this storm's winds barely topped 100 mph. People were forecasting that it would turn north and threaten New Orleans, but the sheer speed with which it's turned into an all-time hurricane has caught people off guard, I think.

he believes that, that's his rationale for staying - it will weaken before landfall and the levees will hold.

Bastardi coming up now.
