Sheps talkin to a blogger right now
Sam is probably a dead man walking.
Shep is a gay man and a gay journalist.
Dead men walking drinking!
Judging from the images at The Superdome website, I have low confidence that this thing is going to like Cat 5 winds very much
"Shep said a bar on Bourbon St is packed"
Are you kidding me? Those people have a death wish...
Yeah, take a look at this webcam on Bourbon Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans. There are still people walking around and cars driving through. Not a lot but they are there.

Question..is there a theoretical, or real limit to how low barometric pressure can fall?
may the Lord make their deaths swift, and their pain little.
That's Sam the Idiot who's at a bar in New Orleans and being interviewed by Shepard SmithTHE IDIOT!
Either that or he doesn't think the Superdome will survive. The good news is the serious winds haven't started yet. The bad is, they will, and soon.

"
The reason I wouldn't want to be in the Superdome is that, even though it's big and strong, in such strong
winds all it takes is large wind-driven debris breaking a hole in the side of the dome and the wind would
continue to break open the hole and then who knows.
There are lots of houses that could withstand winds of average hurricanes but flying debris creates an
entry for the wind and it's downhill from there. That's one of the main reasons we board our windows."
Yes, and it's also why many times a tornado will damage houses on one side of the street, and sweep foundations clean on the other side of the street. A great deal depends on which side of the house the garage door, the usual point of initial failure, is on.
I'm searching for indoor pictures of the dome, and for pictures of the entries. Best guess says the human entries will be glass, the equipment loading doors will be overhead types, and both could probably stand for some short order reinforcement.
I remember accounts from a certain church and orphanage in Galveston, but with nearly everyone else (including the facts, data, and forecast models) painting such a gloom and doom picture, today, I've decided to be a ray of hope.
It's a tough job but someone has to do it.
:-)
Shep got snarky with Brian earlier when Brian had to cut him off right in the middle of a sentence. Shep said "Well I guess you have to cut me off then". He's not a happy camper today.

I miss spoke/miss typed.(?)
Guess the question is that they are referring to areas as parishes in New Orleans. Is that in lieu of counties?
Shep went to NO??? I wonder who his replacement on the 7 o'clock news is going to be? Even Cantore had the brains to get the hell out of there.
Oh, yeah. $ is what it's all about. We'll see if they are left to spend any.
