I think the hurricane experts are important.  :rolleyes:

was thumbing the channels on the hurricane coverage.

..talking heads with microphones standing in the wind and rain.

wonder which network gets to claim the proud distinction of having their dypchit news crew flattened by a flying car.

LOL ya I was thinking the same thing. Its only a matter of time before someone is whacked. The anchors saying "Please Jim..dont take one for the team..be careful", while the channel heads are saying.."Wade out further...it doesnt look dangerous enough for our viewers...go!"

   As for the hurricane experts, I know they are important. I just said THEY know at times like this they know they are important. Dont you roll yer eyes at me! I'll poke em out with a pointy stick! :P

hehe

these are the ones many turn to so that they may find out how to feel about the issues .....

... yet they ain't even smart enough to get out of the rain not to mention a hurricane - LOL

two small miracles this morning: the jog east and with it the lowering to a 4 from a 5 may have saved N.O.

For anyone that still has the big satellite dishes, there is a live feed of hurricane coverage on satellite T-5 transponder 9 of stations WBRZ and WGNO. Just heard there have been about 20 buildings collapsed in NO  and possibly some people trapped. Also something about 2 major pump stations failing and water overflowing the banks and re-running back into the city. :(

Me and my wife's family are 50 miles west of New Orleans. For their sake I'm glad it jogged east but you have to feel for the people east of New Orleans and Missisppi coast. God I don't miss being in hurricanes. Now I just have to worry about earthquakes.
