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….
Oh Cassy
All this hurricane and Katrina talk has me thinking about a post made by an ignorant little Florida girl a while back. It was called “Hurricanes, Florida Style” and though I already retorted I saw something a week or so ago that made me think of it again. You said a lot of ignorant things…
Nola.com In Panic Mode
Edit 2: Oh, I know why Gustav is coming this weekend. It’s God punishing us again. How many times can a community get smote in one decade? Say, that reminds me, have Y’all seen this? Edit:From the 2 p.m. forecast discussion out of NHC, “One should not read much into such shifts of the forecast…
Go Away Gustav!
Fay was easily dismissed. She either was never headed in New Orleans’ direction and by the time she did, she was faded Fay. Not so much the case with this Gustav, who has an entire warm and fuel-rich Gulf to cross before he reaches landfall. Monsters are created in that trek. All the tracks point…
DNC on YES
If any one is dreading having to watch any of the “three-headed monster” of 24-hour news channels, there is hope! WYES is covering it! So less BS hopefully. I love this channel. Y’all ever catch “Stepping Out“? It’s awesome.
RTIII Is In The Can
There was a lot going on so I can’t present much of genuine article covering the event so I will just result to bullet points… – Buffa’s was energized and kinetic.

Updates!
Just a few updates to these two posts… Mainstream Media Vs. Scuttlebutt! I saw Ms. Donna on the levee this afternoon and asked her about the incident and she said it was at this house and the woman was not charged. According to DNN, “He beat her. He was always beating her.” Also, I have…
Fay Finally Turns
TS Fay has finally made her expected NNW turn and damn if she didn’t have me concerned there for a while. Expectations were for her to make the turn earlier but she hung on a little longer than expected. Some computer models yesterday evening had her landfall at Mobile Bay. I’ve always trusted the models…
