The major news sites will have helicopters on charter for stuff like this

They'll need to hustle out; helicopters and hurricane-force winds don't mix too well.

These knuckleheads on Bourbon street better just keep drinking - for many of them - unfortunately - it's their last hurrah.

Boyfriend of mine worked there at Cafe Du Monde in 1975. Oh, I miss that place, and the thick hot coffee...sigh.

our Canadian brethren offered up their site. Don't know if that offer was a one time event.

No, they are always there for us.

Shep is talking about the fact that people don't believe the media on storms anymore because it's all hype.

Those ppl are all potential Darwin Award winners, IMO.

Hey Shep! Get out of the way and maybe they'll believe you when you tell them to get out of the way.

Lowest recorded pressure in the US was something like 857, in a hurricane that passed over the kesy in the 30's, I think.

my husband and I just went out and filled up our tank. $2.53 in New Jersey - pretty steep but I think it will look like a bargain in a few days. Thank God Mr sassbox has only a 10 minute commute to work and I can walk to a bus stop for my university.

Per Shep's report, the people in the bar think it's a "cry wolf" scenario. I wouldn't bet MY life on it.

North to the piney woods, go north. In the south, the tall pine trees are your friends.

If that's the case, I guess I'd drink, too. Poor folks.

I saw that too.

Bastardi seems to think that NO will get a double whammy from Katrina, one from the initial storm surge and then the overflow of Lake Pontchartrain right into NO.

Ouch.
