Jim Cantore from the WC is trapped. The water is 10 feet and rising in Gulfport, they are stuck in a hotel with nowhere to go.
I think what Cosmic Cowboy is saying is that if it hadn't veered a little East yesterday, NO would have been likely destroyed completely. Now, at the least, there's some hope that the levees hold up and the flooding won't be that bad in NO.
Prayers to everyone in Katrina's path.
Does anyone know if Guru of Nothing posted today?
I couldn't agree with you more. I know some people hate to hear this, but its in the bible. End times.
I will call Guru and see what I can tell you.
I was listening to the Fox newscast on XM and Steve harrigan was reporting from MS when he basically said "A large piece of roof landed 3 feet from us, we're packing it in and will call you back in an hour". Doesn't sound good.
It would be a good time to own stock in Asplundh.
It looks like he was online and in this thread at 10:37am but didn't post.
Guru is at work and doing good.
Tell them to disinfect their saws before they spread oak wilt to Louisiana.It would be a good time to own stock in Asplundh.
Great, thanks!
I'm here. Doing fine on the third floor of my office building. Winds are about up to 25 mph now. I'm hoping to watch the storm veer a little more towards the east.

The word IDIOT comes to mind.

Exhibit A of how alcohol impairs your judgement.
why not? thats how Boston got Boston harbour... they just threw all thier trash in there and some dirt.. BINGO.. more coastline.
I'm hoping it can somehow miss you and veer East. I'm glad you are okay!
Maybe the port-o-can was out of tickets and he just wanted to make sure he was "clean"??

THe mississippi River has risen 10 feet since this morning. That is about the top of the levees.
WWL-TV just reported that the levee near the FQ had not broken as originally thought, just that the river had crested the levee and that was causing the flooding in the 9th Ward.
The 1900 Galveston storm was a Category 4 and I think Carla was too.BTW, are they saying that the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 and Carla weren't category 5? They are only referring to Labor day 1935, Andrew and Camille.
Yeah 1900 was a cat 4

Carla was cat 4 when it hit but was a 5 before. 150mph on open water and 120 when it made landfall between Port O'Conner and Port Lavaca. Very much like this one.
Edit, nm, screen cap not showing up for some reason.
"I'm not doing too good right now," Chris Robinson said via cellphone from his home east of the city's downtown. "The water's rising pretty fast. I got a hammer and an ax and a crowbar, but I'm holding off on breaking through the roof until the last minute. Tell someone to come get me please. I want to live."
This one is larger than Carla, more widespread.
