I like Ike... to stay far far away

"The most hated three words in New Orleans this summer:

CONE OF PROBABILITY"

-- docbrite

While the National Weather Service still has us within Hurricane Ike's "Cone of Probability", as of this afternoon for the first time ALL the Weather Underground computer models now have it going to Texas.

Yay for not evacuating twice in a month (same number of times I evacuated in all the 1980s and 1990s).

Looks like you're out of the C. of P. today. I hate to wish ill luck on others (even in Texas) but most other places can probably handle a Cat 3 better than New Orleans for now. Good luck.

Cone of Silence

Yes, IWPT as "Cone of Silence;" even now, as my cousin safely fled Houston, "Sorry about that, Chief" is echoing, in Don Adams cadences, inside my haid.

One nice thing about Fay is it dumped 1.5 billion gallons in Lake Lanier, raising its water level 2 1/2 feet. The drought in Georgia's two-years old now. We need hurricane-moving implements, more perhaps than the Death Ray of DQQm.
