If You Read This - You're hair stands up

The link for the bulletin is posted above at noaa and has been quoted on local news stations in NO, specifically WWLTV in New Orleans. I was hardly joking. This notice was issued at 10AM this morning. I posted it for obvious reasons when I became aware of it. It may have been replaced, but there are several on the board who visited the link at NOAA earlier and can attest that it was official.

Travel2Much,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It is particularly humbling because it so easily could have been SoWal. If there is anything that you need while you are here, please don't hesitate to ask. We will do anything to help. I'm sure we're all going to have a sleepless night.

The gentleman who started this post has misinformed you. No doubt Katrina is a catastrophic storm and many lives will be changed forever, but this is not an official statement by the NOAA. My first hurricane in Florida I worked for a hotel that did not evacuate all of its guest. I witnessed families huddling together in fear of their lives. It was an experience I will never forget. There is a time for being a clown but this would not be one of them. Don?t feed the trolls many are coming here for factual info. Thank you.

You jumped the gun - the statement is from:
http://weather.noaa.gov

The National Weather Service.

WU is telling the truth. WU is not a troll. This is real.

But it is all a maybe and a could right now. The town and the quarter has been around for centuries. It will be there Tuesday. Maybe a bit wet and strewn around.

Does anyone know of alternate coverage to TWC coming straight out of NOLA? The simulcasts on WMBB.com were invaluable during the landfall of Dennis. They had much more objective coverage and better radar graphics than was available from the national coverage. I can only hope that the devastation will not be as bad as the networks are predicting.

WU - Fox News just read the statement online. We never doubted you!

Thanks. I may be a smart ass, politically incorrect, and the website might have ticked everyone off in one way or another over the years - but I gotta heart.

Most of us here know who to trust and WU is one of them.
