I'm assuming NO is going to get hit. What I'm telling you is that the dynamics are different. A lake spilling over a levee is different than the Gulf of Mexico being blown directly onshore.
Remember that phrase for her next campaign.
really? he just stole that line from them?
Regardless of what people think of them reporters are people too, with all the same emotions as regular folks.........sometimes it becomes very difficult to maintain that "bland" emotionless attitude the viewers seem to expect.

I have been watching it all night and tho it is an hour behind, it is showing only 40 knot winds and 30' waves - i've been in worse.
it is to the east but that is where the counterclockwise front should be most severe.
No... he said that about people in the french quarter. He did say it about them.
It sure seems like the NWS and NHC are really scared about this one......
Geraldo has Gov Blanko on now trying to cover her a$$ for not being aggressive enough to protect the citizens of Louisiana.
He must be from the low lying(lie-ing) swamps, he's a snake(serpenthead is what Mary calls him).LMAO

I'll take my chances with the smokes over the hurricane.
"If she says Bye-Lox-ee again....I'm gonna shoot my TV with my sidehammer."
LOL! I know exactly how you feel.
Listening to them mispronounce Biloxi makes my hair hurt.
I've been streaming WWL.
They know how to pronounce it, although with a NO accent.
"However....one could do worse"
I don't know about that. ;o)
He said he hopes everyone in the superbowl are OK.

Louisiana Develops Improved Hurricane Evacuation Plan
April 13, 2005 -- According to today's FEMA National Situation Update, a new hurricane evacuation plan was demanded by Governor Kathleen Blanco after Hurricane Ivan when a traffic snarl that stretched from New Orleans to Baton Rouge lasted upward of 12 hours. The plan was put together by state police and the DOTD and includes evacuation routes for not only New Orleans and points south, but Lake Charles, Lafayette and the Houma-Thibodaux area. Under the new plan preparing for evacuations would begin at least 72 hours in advance. One of the problems during Ivan was the time required to get barriers, people and other material in place to allow lane reversal on highways.
Beginning 50 hours in advance, evacuations south of New Orleans would be ordered, public offices and schools would be closed, but traffic would remain along normal routes.
At 40 hours, evacuation south of the Mississippi River, including the West Bank of New Orleans, would be ordered.
In Phase 3, if the storm is a category 3 storm or higher, contraflow would be triggered.
Problems that slowed traffic last time ran the gamut from signs that were too hard to read, forcing drivers to slow excessively, to breakdowns. Under the new system tow trucks will be stationed along the routes and new signs will be installed. The new hurricane evacuation plan also requires a number of new ramps to be added or widened, new crossovers and other items at a cost of $7.5 million.
She just asked for prayers. Probably for her.
Or the ditchwitch?
