Glad I got the chance to see New Orleans

...because if the NOAA warnings are right, it may not be there much longer.

UNPRECEDENTED STRENGTH... UNINHABITABLE FOR WEEKS... ALL GABLED ROOFS WILL FAIL... MAJORITY OF INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS WILL BECOME NON FUNCTIONAL... ALL WOOD FRAMED LOW RISING APARTMENT BUILDINGS WILL BE DESTROYED... ALL WINDOWS WILL BLOW OUT... PERSONS...PETS...AND LIVESTOCK EXPOSED TO THE WINDS WILL FACE CERTAIN DEATH IF STRUCK... WATER SHORTAGES WILL MAKE HUMAN SUFFERING INCREDIBLE BY MODERN STANDARDS... DO NOT VENTURE OUTSIDE!

Maybe... maybe moving north so Karen can continue her schooling wouldn't be such a bad idea after all.

Geez, if it's really that bad, I'd better go stock up on food here in Austin - we're not that far away. It could cause damage here.

It's definitely one nasty-looking storm.

Gosh, that makes that "earth falling into the sun" thing from a while back seem tame.
