Not as bad,misses New Orleans,the levees should hold.

It`s still a strong strom but won`t hit like Katrina did.

Thank god.

It is better to be prepared and not need it, than to need it and not be prepared.

As the soft, late summer rain, mists thru the delta.

Y'all can come back now, heah?

LOL.

Hang tight, folks.

Status: offline 		And now for you weather update (for those that are curious)...

Being hit hard with wind and rain right now.  I haven't seen or heard any tornadoes yet.  Things are pounding on the side of the building as the wind carries them off.  I can hear limbs breaking but I can't tell if they are large or small.  It's really a no big deal thing at the moment.  We did loose one window but that's it so far.  I now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

I just hope it doesn't stall, and drop all that rain in one place.

Godspeed.

Will we get the standard obligatory news video of you standing at 45 degrees in the wind and rain,holding a mic?

Thanks for the news.

The water behind the most vulnerable levees is receding.

A foot and a half so far.Very good news.

They`re now bracing for the storm surge and flooding that`s sure to come next.

Harsh but still not a hurricane.

I think New Orleans dodged a bullet.

There`s a new storm coming in fast, though.

Take care folks.
