I have to confess

I have to confess that I was off in my own little world this last week. And it wasn’t until I got back home this afternoon that I realized that this storm bearing down on New Orleans wasn’t just one of these big hurricanes we hear about every year to two. Hopefully all the predictions will prove to be in some measure over blown. But we’re only hours away from the predicted landfall and the predictions, with all the most current data, really do sound catastrophic, as overused as that word can be.

First, if you’re anywhere near what’s coming tomorrow morning, good luck and be safe.

If you’ve already evacuated and are fortunate enough to have good shelter and a passable Internet connection, let us know what’s happening, what you saw, what you’re hearing.

For those at a distance just looking to find out more, here’s the website of the New Orleans Times-Picayune and here are a few of their live-on-the-scene webcams, for the curious at heart.
