Another way to get some local coverage from New Orleans is if you have an XM radio their emergency channel 247 is carrying some local New Orleans coverage. |

They don't change the track with every update. And, I heard a meteorologist say we're really past the "forecast" stage, and are pay more attention to actual coordinates. |

So far I like it here. I'm one of the crazy people who like the heat/humidity of the area. Also the area has plenty to keep one busy.

Re: Hurricane Gustav
I went and filled the truck with gas because it will probably be $5 a gallon before the end of the week. $75 later, I'm in good shape for a couple weeks.

Re: Hurricane Gustav
the eye-wall looks like it's passing close to grand isle. hurricane force winds just starting to hit nola. They expect the eye wall to make landfall in about 2 hours.
they're expecting storm surge about half of what they originally thought. NOLA area westbank can handle (supposedly) up to 7 ft, and it's expected to reach between 5-8 ft there. |

One of the biggest threats to the oil industry from this storm: the two major pipelines that carry the oil pumped offshore pass thru Port Fourchon (near ground zero) and Venice (to the east of landfall, near the mouth of the river.) If BOTH are shut down for a significant time, we could have some problems. |

Re: Hurricane Gustav
I have a cousin who just moved back into her house in NOLA last month. We haven't heard from her but my guess is she's in Mississippi right now.

Re: Hurricane Gustav
One of these days one of these idiots who stand out in hurricane force winds is going to get decapitated on live tv by some flying debris.

Didn't she live in Lakeview? (that are is just starting to get back on its feet) So far so good for her area (and mine). I don't think they've had to shut the flood gates in the 17th st canal. Still a long way to go, tho. |

Re: Hurricane Gustav
Gustav has just dropped to a category 2 with max winds of 110 MPH just before the eye hits land.

It's turned into a contest. And it encourages other idiots to do it too. I can't believe the insurance companies for the networks allow it. Can you imagine the lawsuit if one of them gets maimed or killed? One roof tile could kill you if it hits you in the head at 75 mph.

Re: Hurricane Gustav
Water is topping the Levees in the Ninth Ward per Fox News. They are worried about a loose barge potentially taking out a levee.
