Pre-storm estimates for this scenario - 10 weeks to six months.

I can't get over the difference between yesterday's TV coverage and today's reports. This is for all the annoying talking heads who kept babbling about how New Orleans "dodged a bullet" -- time to eat your words, y'all:

KALB's feed from MSNBC is over for now. "Days Of Our Lives" was delayed for an hour and, while that may seem extremely trivial to many of you, trust me, Alexandria is a *hard-core* "Days" town, no exaggeration. Everywhere you look in Alexandria and Pineville, TV monitors are ON at 12:30 pm! No way they were gonna pre-empt it, but the hour delay certainly underscores the catastrophic nature of things here.
