This could be worse than Camille.

At this point, the only thing that would keep it from being bigger than Camille would be an eyewall replacement cycle that cuts the intensity. Even then, it's not going to lose that much intensity.

There's no upper level wind shear. The water temperature is almost 90F. We may see 200mph straight winds out of this storm -- only Gilbert ever had those in the Atlantic.

I would be very worried about NOLA people staying there. I'm also worried about urban poor the area has so many of. They say they're opening the Superdome to them, which is good, because that may be the safest place to be come tomorrow.

This is the kind of monster storm that spawns thousands of meteorology PhD dissertations.

How did this happen!?!

I don't know. Annabel is shooting up in size at an alarming rate. I keep checking to see if Susan has been soaking her in Miracle-Gro.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy Casper Day!

Anxious eye on the hurricane. Pronouns gone. More coffee might help.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Casper!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

And now she looks like this: [link]

She looks longer and lankier than most 2-year-olds -- is she? I don't have enough regular exposure to such little ones to really know. I just figured since you and Mr. flea are long lanky people, Casper is destined to be the same, even as a toddler.

And -- Happy Birthday, Casper!

You need to switch her Annabel from decaf to espresso -- that should slow her growth spurts quite effectively....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday to Casper! Good job, flea.

Wow. Here's a transcript from a 2002 American RadioWorks program about what would happen if a category 5 hurricane hit New Orleans: [link] .

Scary, scary stuff.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have not read Teppy's link yet, but damn, the entire city of New Orleans has been ordered evacuated. Has this ever happened before? Has any city of 485,000 or more ever been evacuated?
