The other two webcams (French Quarter and Bridge) are not responding any more. It could be the server is at maximum capacity or that the power has been cut in the area.

Blank, blank, run, blank. etc

The news dousnt really show the absolute truth of the situation, the television, it seems as though they try to ensure us that it wont hardly be as bad as we all think that it will be. I mean, I wouldnt doubt them on there statisticle purpose, with mph and such, but when it comes to the future, all they know is there own optimism, wich could get people killed.

Were is everyone getting the web cams?

Those idiots over at FoxNews posted the links to the webcams this morning and have been directing viewers to them.

An hour later most of them were swamped and went offline.

Dammit!

Compare this to the above web cam capture. This is 20 minutes later, notice the causeway in the distance is pretty much enveloped by cloud/rain. Its phenomenal.

Fox News, Mabey they should stay more up to date, lol

Thanks for the link subz

Pic above, mabey they should get out faster.

On another note:

I wonder who Fox/NBC/CBS/ABC/etc will assign to do the "Live on the scene" reporting tomorrow a.m.


I personally feel sorry for that individual!
:O)

Not that this is a joking matter at all . . . but, as always, what better time to get the scoop and a few ratings points as well.

Such a sad state of media affairs.

I just heard on the news that the superdome was built to withstand 135 mph winds. Why are they massing people inside?!

They have no where else to go.

no the superdome is meant to withstand 200mph winds that's why they are using it, plus it is a few feet above sea level...18 i think.

My concern is moreso that she will move inland faster and more intact than prior storms of this magnitude, due to the overall flat terrain in that area of the south.

With such a defined eye, and by gaining such enormous enery just prior to maikng landfall, this storm could easily punch 100+ miles inland before starting to [so-called] break up, and have very destructive effects throughout multiple states into even the SE midwest [per se].

I saw that on live international television, and it was pretty f'n funny

After seeing Nerdlings video clip I find myself feeling even more sorrow for the folks that are still in New Orleans and the general vicinity.

Obviously there are many that simply cannot leave the area, for a number of reasons, and will have to enter an emergency shelter, yet as demonstrated in the video there are also many who are simply too stubborn/stupid/fill in the blank to heed the warnings.

Not to sound morbid but the reporter should have gotten the guy's name to verify his identity, as he will probably be floating somewhere tomorrow.

Some men you just can't reach . . .

:O(

Seeing that I'm a human being with at least a little bit of common sense, as well as a father of 3 children, I would definitely be using every asset at my disposal to get the H out of Dodge!
