#1 This is pretty scary! Keep an eye on the ticker today bros. Some prayers are in order!

Somebody should send out somebody to check the dikes.

#2 I evacuated yesterday. The levee system is extensive, but every foot of it was built by the lowest bidder.

Don't worry about the direct strike scenario -- if it happened, I'm sure the UN would come to our rescue.

#3 Matt, good luck to you. I'm sure everything will be alright. You did attach the pontoons to the house?

Bummer if the Big-easy turns into a Disney style 'E' ticket ride.

#7 Thanks Lucky and everyone else.

Ship, good luck to your yut. We headed north to Jackson, were I am now confronting the classic sweetened versus unsweetened tea dliemma.

Pontoons? I shoulda thunk.

Big Ed - things don't look good for Mobile but the striking thing about this one (and I've seen a few) is how big it is: hurricane force winds 200 miles across.

#9 Best wishes and dry thoughts to all the Gulf Coast Rantburgers. Plus the Tennessee Valley Rantburgers, where biblical rains are predicted. We'll get the dregs here in the mid-Atlantic sometime this weekend...

#13 Pay attention in North E Georgia and E Tennessee... this could stall... maybe even a little retrograde motion.
