Watch and wait.
Hurricane Risk for New Orleans*
Researcher Jay Combe has reached a troubling conclusion. He's told his supervisors at the Army Corps of Engineers that if The Hurricane hits New Orleans, most of the buildings in the city would probably be destroyed. If the water didn't demolish them, the hurricane's horrific winds would. And Combe says that raises a question: How many people would die?Some researchers say 40,000. Some say 20,000. This Army Corps researcher says those figures are probably too low.
Combe worries, "I think of a terrible disaster. I think of 100,000."

Interesting things cold happen. This is gonna be really bad for them.
Fire ants have developed a unique method to keep from drowning. At first hint of rising water, worker ants gather the entire colony into a ball - sometimes as big as a basketball. As the water overtakes the mound, the ball rides the flood like a living raft, rolling in the water so all the members can take turns breathing. When they strike a solid object, be it a swimming dog or your canoe, they quickly swarm aboard.
Things to watch out for:
* Dead bodies
* Floating Fire Ant Balls
* Floating sewage
* Toxic Waste - including Oil and Gasoline
* Wild Animals - including Alligators and Bigfoot
* Graves
I really hope it doesn't get super bad but I don't think it's gonna be good.
My thoughts are with everyone over there, the ones who have left and the ones who couldn't afford to leave.
I have some stuff to do this moring and such but then I'll be back around later in the day.
