If there is a mandatory evacuation on Sunday morning, how are they going to hold any schools in Jefferson County on Monday?

Not to be negative, just being real....Doesn't look very promising. Here's hoping Entergy, National Guard, local leaders, workers, Red Cross, FEMA (yea I know) are ready to work.

When it came time for the insurance to pay, though, Rita was merely a thunderstorm.  They didn't want to admit how high the winds got here and how much damage was actually done due to the winds.  Jerks!!!!  Everybody can still get insurance before it gets in the gulf!!!

125 mph now and moving faster--14mph nw now

So what happens with the high school football season. Do the games get moved back or just cancelled.

Depends on how big a hit, but for the most part a game or two would be cancelled since it is preseason is my guess.

KEEP MOVING NW!

Coop...

With the movement of the storm increasing, that means the steering currents are stronger?

Hopefully the NW movement will stay constant the next 48 hours!
