Jackie is her name...she is a terrific sounding lady!!

I'd rather listen to Jackie than Geraldo.

I saw a photo somewhere of ambulances and paramedic vehicles being escorted to the Superdome. Hopefully they will have medical supplies there.

I hope they don't let people in the arean itself. Keep them in the concources under the seating. If the roof does sustain damage, there is a LOT of stuff above your head that you wouldn't want to land on your head. Godspeed to all those in harms way.

Geraldo said "The big EASY" should be called "the big HARD"...That was just plain dumb.

[mabelkitty]

so is the poster

[Gabz]

Sorry, I didn't hear that at all - just that Max had called him and the governor.

[oceanview]

the entire credibility of the national weather service and national hurricane center is on the line with this one. don't get me wrong, I am not saying its being "over hyped", I am just making an observation.

New Orleans airport now closed.

[Rebelbase]

Channel surfed and landed on that Hugh Grant/Sandra Bullock Movie.

She's about to have a bowel explosion while "Takin care of Business" plays.

[Moose4]

Oh my God, Bill. Did that used to be an airplane in the second picture? What was it?

The gates of death are about to close.

I-10 west for sure as it goes over the Causeway and they shut it down when the wind gets up but can't remember the speed.

Torie I think they can survive in N.O. regarding the wind damage in some of the larger structures but water maybe another situation especially if the levees are breached via surges or washouts.

I'm surprised at the info from Houma, Thibodaux area that you noted a while ago. That area is a little south of N.O. and slightly west but open flat marsh type country. Even if the winds aren't that strong look for rising water for sure.

[daybreakcoming]

prayers for your friends in Houma. They may get the brunt of this storm? God help them. I've spent time in Houma - good people there.

Please drop us a note as to how they made out if you can. They are blessed with a friend like you who tried.

I've seen "Isaac's Storm." The book is more impressive than the TV show but they are both quite interesting.

[wardaddy]

from 1-3 O'Clock is worst....

"I think I'll turn off FOX for a few hours"

Do like I do: just don't watch Fox and the rest of the trash emanating from the "dummy box."

[easonc52]

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin

Wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began a running

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Now there's a memory (even remember the tune)!

Best wishes to all in harm's way!

[seams2me]

Did he really say that tonight, The Big Easy is more like, The Big Hard??????????

[LadyBuzz]

NO mayor just told Larry King that the Superdome will "probably" be safe - it's a damn good thing there are not TVs there

[LdSentinal]

Brian Williams sure is trying.

How so?

Ask Dennis Kucinch. The Cuyahoga burned for a long time. Someone from Cleveland needs to chime in with some help. I can't remember how it happened...but I think it made Kucinich a household name. He was a real young mayor at the time, I think it happened during his time.
