That is funny Sarge. Not the story, of course, but I actually had another window open at the same time to that same page as I was looking at your post. Must have gotten if off of Drudge.

Hopefully it will veer off a little.

Yikes! That looks pretty bad. Let's hope it does actually stray away. My thoughts are with the people of New Orleans.

"...dire warnings that Ivan could overwhelm the city with up to 20 feet of filthy, chemical-polluted water. " Original story said casualties could reach 10-50k residents and that 10k body bags were already available.

My family lives in Mobile, AL. My Dad, being as stubborn as he is, say they are going to ride it out.
