I am watching channel 2 and they havent said anything.
You know the rule - pictures are required...
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - THIS JUST IN: It turns out that the levees in New Orleans were BLOWN again, to drive out the poor blacks via flooding. This time a new invention was used - Silent Dynamite!!! That's why no one heard the explosion!
Could you imagine poor Jim Cantore having to be holed up in a deserted town, in a pitch black hotel for several days all alone with her during Katrina? Poor schmuck. No football on TV, no internet, no surfing at the beach...nothing to do but wait for the National Guard to arrive...
Yes. I put it on speaker so others could hear it. I could not believe it. I do not know what area code the New Orleans uses but it may be close. What a waste of time and effort to call Pennsylvanians. Someone had Gov. Blanco calling Chester County Pa. to warn us to evacuate. I am sure I am not the only one
It's always a little windier down by the shore. But the tropical storm force winds haven't reached the Houston area yet.
More media hype.
No longer; it had been earlier.
I can't tell from the video that anything more than a foot deep flow is going over the top - if you can read a deeper flow into the images, then you are clearly more skilled than I am.
I agree completely, if the levee is earthen with no hard covering, it is stupid to refer to what is happening as "overtopping and no structural change yet," which is precisely what the Corp of Engineers called it.
Our local PBS affiliate has a banner across the tv screen urging ALL evacuees headed towards Bryan/College Station to continue on to Waco and/or Nacogdoches as all the shelters are closed to out-of-town evacuees.
Hang up and drive
Thank you for the update. Have been thinking about you today. Take care, and check in when you can.
As long as the pic is under 50k,....
Bastardi sucks...boycott Accu-Weather (the anti-NWS company)
The pressies will now b!tch and moan because Houston and Galveston did not get leveled. Mark my words, "overreaction" will be the buzzword. I will take bets on the day and hour. I am saying Sunday afternoon, in time to make the Monday newscycle.
you mean it is still all going north?
Stephanie Abrams. Why God invented TiVO. (just kiding)
No, Congressman - my ex-wife is a b*tch. Nature is a mother.
"Make lemonade with the water you plan to drink. You'll never know about the Chlorine."
I've never tried it, but I read somewhere that if ya blow air through the water (like with a straw) it drives off the free chlorine and cuts the taste.
Boiling the chlorinated -bleached - water does work, though.
YMMV
12:19 P.M. - Grand Isle Mayor David Camardelle: There is a 200-foot levee breach and many areas have three feet of water. Winds are gusting to 80 miles per hour.
Does anyone have the words to that funny song about Dr. Neil Frank? MrBea , the dog and I evacuated Texas . We left early to avoid gridlock. Praying for all in path of this monster.
