Much of that section looks dry because a radar is knocked down. The hurricane didn't just disappear.

Huey Long assassinated in Baton Rouge.

The Saints are not the only ones with a problem.

The New Orleans Bowl (http://www.neworleansbowl.com) and the Nokia Sugar Bowl (http://www.nokiasugarbowl.com) are played there too.

I suspect they may be looking for a new location for those games as well.

I watching TV and freepin. Sorry I can't help you out. The only reason I'm jumping between CNN and MSNBC is because most people here are watching Fox.

I'm checking in from Plano, TX. We drove all night and got her at 6:30 AM. Just got off the phone from a neighbor in Prairieville. There fence has blown down and they are without power. There are unable to get any radio news from WWL (NO) and WJBO (BR). Cell phones aren't working, but they do have land line communication.
Prayers for all of you in Katrina's path!

I don't think we'll be going to Destin that way now, if we go at all. Have to drive thru Mobile.

I'll know after damage reports today.

Big trees down with wind in Memphis.

Not Memphis, TN it's not even raining here yet.

NOAA IR view

Looks like the eye has just passed over the mouth of the lake.

That red part is spinning like it's going to push a lot of water over the lakes levee's. Doesn't look good.

[WestCoastGal]

"...And I know how much you wanted to model the ball gag..."


HAHA!! Those that may not know what that is outta be picking themselves up off the floor about now... (pssst, i think alot more people know what it is though, they just don't want to admit it...) : )

[IMRight]

Don't know if I would want to be on a powerless ship, even a 45,000 ton battleship, in a major hurricane...

Battleships are reletively capable of handling a hurricane...

...IF they are at sea AND under power AND properly manned. I wouldn't want to be on one just tied up to a pier.
