For hurricanes, I rely on the computer models.

Looks to be tirning north (and shifting landfall more east) now.

Oh oh, Katrina survivors beware.........

Would that be the ones who waited for the government to save them?

Really.  I'm very interested in seeing how much Obongo will help LA this time, in view of Jindal's governorship.

It keeps shifting west. It may not threaten NO at all when it makes landfall. No one knows. It is still not at hurricane strength as I write this...it needs to slow and strengthen considerably to be a real threat.

That said, NO is still below sea level last time I checked and even a wimpy hurricane would be a problem if it made a direct hit on the city.

But it's also moving fast and that would mean a short duration over the city if it did hit there.

Thankfully, there is a new mayor (yet another in a very, very long line of congenitally corrupt Landrieus) and a Republican governor this time around so I would expect a much better disaster management scenario. Plus a lot of stupid people died last time and quite of few of the surviving stupid people were shipped out of town and never came back. I also imagine that there are a lot more firearms in the hands of the citizens so that should be better this time around...i.e., the shop owners can better shoot the cops who attempt to loot the stores.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

I wonder if they'll try to confiscate them again? And if the storm misses NO, look for any mention of it to disappear quickly. The LSM  wants another Katrina soooo badly.

I had that same thought, sick as hell it is, that's our media!  A crisis for Duh Wun to manage magnificently (that's what they'll say, no matter how badly he eff's it up!)!

Doesn't matter where it lands. The LSM will be disappointed with the lack of destruction. They'll put all of the drama they can into whatever damage they can find.

An so an act of God almighty will suck the life out of the GOP convention.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

It's not God's Act that'll be doing it, it's the Grand Poobahs of the Republican Party, such as Krauthammer and Bill Crystal, who are advising a more somber tone because it won't do to be seen "celebrating" with death, doom and destruction on the horizon for some.  Well, there are starving children in North Korea every day of the week as we speak, along with multiple child-murders in Chicago, so why not just don the sackcloth and ashes permanently.

This looks like a pretty weak storm to me. I'm not sure it will even be a hurricane when it makes landfall.

Media hardest hit.

What is Jindal doing?  Seems to me he ought to be lambasting dummocraps on one hand and telling the convention to go full steam ahead as he has LA covered.  WTF?!   ::whatgives::

Local weather forecasts we're likely to get some "related moisture" from Isaac.  No I have to f**king interpret weather-speak for "it may rain".  Can no one speak plain English anymore?
