From MSNBC:
National Hurricane Center Director Max Mayfield warned that New Orleans would be pounded throughout the day and that Katrina’s potential 15-foot storm surge, down from a feared 28 feet, was still enough to cause extensive flooding.
So the worst of the storm surge is yet to come?
The tides would influence the storm surge too, tommyrot.
I really like this photo. That's so me. Just a cigarette, a beer... and a portable DVD player. Mine you, I wouldn't be quite so sanguine about that wall of glass I was sitting near.
And I know this is less interesting at the moment, but I thought I'd mention that Netscape's bit on Dr. Swinbourne's logical analysis of the Resurrection has made it to the "What's New" popup. Now the writeup says both "he has created a formula that he says shows a 97 percent certainty that Jesus Christ was resurrected by God the Father" and "Considering all these factors together, there is a one in 1,000 chance that the resurrection is not true," which seem inconsistent to me. But then again... Netscape News and religion are unmixy things.
"he has created a formula that he says shows a 97 percent certainty that Jesus Christ was resurrected by God the Father" and "Considering all these factors together, there is a one in 1,000 chance that the resurrection is not true,"
Maybe he was resurrected by somebody else. Maybe somebody named "Eddie".
I am earwormed with "The only living boy in New York":
I can get all the news I need/On the weather report...
And now I'm earwormed with it.
ION, I just had to show incompetent!boss how to (I swear to you) change the font size and leading in a fricking WORD DOCUMENT.
Maybe those bodies are from the aboveground cemetaries? When talking about potential toxic waste, etc., on the news last night, they included corpse upheaval as a potential source of disease if the city floods.
