The storm is now down to a cat 2 w 110 mile per hour winds... the eye should be in soon they are saying,
The leevies are not being breached in new orleans at this time which is a good thing however the surges are beginning to top them... its not near as bad yet as it was in Katrina ... yet.... there for now is just a lot of sign damage and some windows etc in NO... the damage so far appears to be in the french quarter only really...
There are tons of tornados from florida to Miss.. so pray for them also....
There is also a new tropical depression... Ike forming
The worst part of this storm currently is expected to hit in the next hour as far as the actual eye...
The reason no one has posted is probably a lack of power.. just thought id let you know Sis Alvear.
