I got on the road around 11:30 am yesterday and made a 7 hour trip in 12+ hours. Most others fared far worse. Since I am not on my own computer, I can't conveniently post images here. Go to Intellicast to see the latest path and advisories (server very slow right now).
Path is currently through Mobile, AL. Not good for anyone. There will be major devastation for hundreds of miles. Even though New Orleans appears right now to be avoiding a direct hit, cyclonic winds from the North could still create Old Testament flooding as Lake Pontchartrain overflows the levee. We are not out of the woods at all.
Be careful my friends, who stayed behind. Dear Lord, look after us. Amen.
Dear Lord,
Please take care of us here on the Gulf Coast. Giving Ivan a high pressure wind shear buzz cut right now would be pretty groovy.
Amen.
My next post will be from Memphis.

Dear Lord,
OK. This is starting to suck.
Amen.

Thank God for the Media Research Center. I usually wander into the MRC from a link in the Nuze, another daily must read.
Click and read for a great memogate recap: Nets Concede Memos May Be Fake, But Only After Reciting Them --9/10/2004-- Media Research Center.
It is gravely disturbing how the MSM are milking these memos for everything they're worth, even in the face of asymptotic certainty that they are forgeries. Imagine the legs this story would have if the forgers had taken the extra five minutes to find a typewriter - any typewriter, manual or electric, old or new - to create the memos. With the certainty of hand-typed memos' authenticity at, say, 10% rather than near 0%, the MSM would have trumpeted them as gospel. It is not clear to me that talk radio and blogs could have shouted down their authenticity in that case. Scary.

LMFAO
Dear Lord,
Please have mercy on the people of Jamaica.
