But Dog, what I am saying is even those of us who live down here knew of the possiblity but we thought NO had dodged the bullet. Alot of us were in the same position so you can hardly blame Shep. I don't like Shep but I won't call him a moron over that. He may be a moron for other reasons but not that.
First, I don't like Shep and I don't watch Fox News when his show is on. So, I'm not a fan.
That being said, cajungirl is right. All Shep had to go on was what he was seeing with his own eyes. He didn't see much damage in the French Quarter and it was not flooding yet. He heard about the slight jog the hurricane took to the East and knew it was not a direct hit. In the hotel, the middle of the aftermath of the hurricane, without power, water, etc., Shep didn't have the resources we have of live satellite and cable TV and 24/7 updates on the internet. I'm cutting Shep some slack on this one.
