Happy birthday, Jen and meara!
I've been visiting family for the past three days, and watching the weather station with horrified fascination. I lived through Hurricane Fran a while back, and it was not as powerful as Katrina. I'm a good five hour drive inland, to boot. And yet there were trees down everywhere, the water wasn't safe to drink for days, and we went a week without power. I hope New Orleans and New Orleanders come through OK.
Welcome back, Cindy!
Thank you, Nilly.
I sometimes don't even recognize the names inside the Natter thread, which I'm supposadly keeping up with (which translates to skipping muchly, but still).
I think there's a couple of new people, or at least people who are new to Natter, and maybe Minearverse. I kept meaning to make note of their names when I was catching up, but more often than not, catching up was a big skip and skim. A skimp. That's what it was. A skimp.
I just read part of the superdome's roof is peeling off in two places. Uhg.
A skimp
Mine is a skip-skip-skip with very occasional skim. A skipppppppmpppp.

NPR was freaking me out with all the talking about New Orleans in the past tense!

You should throw an occasional skip-a-dee-doo-dah in there.
ION, the eye of the storm has hit East of NO, and the most damage from a hurricane usually comes to the East of the eye (due to the counter-clockwise rotation of the wind, the storm surge is strongest there).
NPR was freaking me out with all the talking about New Orleans in the past tense!See. This is why I can't deal with much media coverage. It's the fear mongering. Now, I'm all for getting people out, and keeping them safe, and making them take it seriously. I know this is a horrible situation for the Gulf Coast--frightening, dangerous, and so darned unpredictable, but that past tense stuff is beyond the pale.
I'm afraid to read the Super Dome roof coverage, but I think I must.
Continued prayers and good thoughts for everyone in this storm's path.
