New Orleans residents told not to return Tuesday, Wednesday I understand this… On Tuesday, only essential city workers and utility personnel will be allowed back in to the city. But if this is true, it is some reprehensible shit… On Wednesday, New Orleans will begin welcoming back what Nagin described as “tier one” companies: retailers…

As She Floated Out Of Sight
Hattie Callan, 36, weaved her way down the street Sunday, a vodka drink already in her hand and it only 9:20 in the morning. She was staying behind to watch over several houses, and she wasn’t worried. “I’ve got liquor, cash, food, ammo and weed,” she said A hardened few choose to stay and ride…

Broussard: Hawvey Canal OK
Broussard just did an interview at the Hawvey Canal and said he expected it to survive the remaining surge. He patted himself just about every other official on the back for the evacuation and storm response. If he is indeed correct about the surge and nothing furthur happens then I have to say, in our…

Don’t you know our name? We are no damn gaps!” ———————————- The morning forecast discussion has me utterly perplexed as…
It’s Crazy Out There!
Now Ze German is trekking to the south west (?) and they have pushed the forecast over to the west of us and pushed landfall back to early Tuesday. Yesterday they had him making landfall as a Cat 2 and now they bumped it up to a Cat 3 even though he weakened last night….
