random nostalgia: Greg and I lifted my FJ60 during hurricane Rita. Wrenching on a greasy, cracked garage floor with rivers flowing by next to us. Those were the days.

Attention Northern/inland meteorologists:
STOP comparing Isaac with Katrina.
Katrina was a cataclysmic event (worse case scenario).
Every storm is serious and every storm can be deadly.
Stop insinuating that because it's not a Katrina, that it is not going to be bad.
Stay focused on your 'inland' weather business and leave the coastal weather predictions to the local and national hurricane experts.
Here's what the experts are saying:
Cat 1 with 80-85 mph winds
6-14 feet of storm surge
20 plus inches of rain
with always the risk of several twisters
positioned over sea level to well below sea level communities
and a storm that is moving at a snail pace and could maintain those conditions for us for 48 hours or more.
That's what we are prepping for.
Is that something you would like to experience?
Down here, we know what to expect.
Just because it's not Katrina, doesn't mean we just chill.

Yeah it's Monroe. I knew it was coming, just taking forever to show up. Raining off and on in waves now. Sitting in the garage cleaning the 40 carb watching it roll in.

Spent all day shooting in the Entergy command center in Jackson-- interesting place to be a fly on the wall. Headed to NOLA in the morning if any roads are passable. Looks like power in south LA will be out for a week or more.
