I was thinking that would be precisely one of the choices if it were a "good" poll... to see how many people would choose "Me" and blame ourselves instead of someone else.
Getting much rain from these storms?
You anywhere near Paris, TN?
Network newsbabe Wet Tee-shirt contest?
I hope it does so too. LOL It's gonna disappoint the media though. They were all camped out there waiting record it and say it's Bush's fault cause now they missed the Cindy Sheehan rally in Washington. LOL
Sand boils being reported in a number of areas in New Orleans - meaning that additional breaks are likely very soon. [B]These boils are in areas that have never been flooded before.[/B] IF heavy rainfall continues through the night in New Orleans then that city will be facing another catastrophic event (which appears to already be well underway). The areas that were flooded the first time are flooding again and new areas are likely to be flooded as well.
This is likely going to be worse than Katrina for that city.
Questions remain as to how much rain will fall in the basin.
Big problems for New Orleans.
"Love bugs" is a PC term.

High beam alert!

I can just hear/see the BBC now: "Oil Rich Houston, Bush's Town, Runs out of gas."
I did hear them say earlier they couldn't send helicopters up because of 45mph gusts, but coast guard choppers are up shown on FNC now now making visual assessments of the industrial canal 'spillover';...
So can Stephanie Abrams :D
On a side note, and completely non-hurricane related, she's not related to the idiot lawyer on MSNBC, is she? I think his name is Dan Abrams.
Good luck, Rosey. Sounds like you are prepared. Stay well, stay alert, and God be with you.
...and, I believed I'd thought of everything. Thanks.
Good points, current trends look like she might try to go back to cat 4 as well... for a time at least.
Note that the flight level winds are higher than they were this morning, when the official intensity was 140 mph. Makes no sense that they've dropped the intensity 15 mph since then.
new placemark.
Well, a Cat 3 is not exactly chopped liver.
Why bother? They have recovered most bodies. The phrase "throwing good money after bad" comes to mind....
