The following does not paint a very bright picture for New Orleans:

I'm going to try to listen to 870 WWL this evening, but who knows how long they might be on.

Thank you.

The 10 AM National Weather Service track shows the eye going right over my
town (Picayune, MS). Fortunately, we won't have to deal with any storm
surge here because we're far enough inland (25 miles). Those winds have me
very concerned, though. We've got a lot of tall pine trees around here.

Any regional radio stations with 'net feeds?
14.325 isnt really S9 over here in SoCal at this time.

By the way, I see that New Orleans has radio stations with callsigns
that begin with both K and W. This is true of both Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia as well. How many other places?

Do a www.devilfinder.com for,Louisiana Radio Stations Streaming
on the Internet. www.radio-locator.com might have something too.

I think I posted something about that here many moons ago. There are a few of
those anomolies out there, but not very many.

Check out the AM LOG he

That'll get your search started.

I sat here wide awake at home while Hurricane Frances snapped trees
off around me for 48 hours straight last year. Both oks and pines were
groaning and making cracking sounds, till they finally came down. The
pines mostly broke off about 2/3 of the way up, while the oaks were
either uprooted, or were split at a major fork near the ground. I spent
the next one in a shelter. All i took was some clothes, my medicine and
two radios to try to hear the news. I had a DX-375 (Takes two "C"
cells) for shortwave, and a Sony SRF-49 for the local stations because
it will run for days on a single alkaline AA cell. The only other things
were important papers and my old truck.

You, and everyone I know in the path are in my prayers. Take care,
and may God bless!

We're definitely in the storm now. The eye wall still won't be here until
after noon.

It's raining sideways due to gusty wind. The lights are flickering about
every 20 to 40 seconds -- we should lose power soon.

Looking outside, I see lots of small twigs and leaves - type debris
everywhere. No big limbs yet. The pine trees are really swaying.

One interesting thing is that when I was having some coffee about 10 minutes
ago, I looked out on the lake where we live and saw a half-dozen seagulls
swooping around. I guess they got blown inland, because we don't normally
see them.

Coverage from New Orleans. www.worldnetdaily.com It is very cloudy
and the wind is picking up here in Jackson,Mississippi.We got a little
bit of rain here last night.

WDSU in New Orleans is simucasting with WAPT www.wapt.com tv
channel 16 here in Jackson.Live video of the New Orleans Causeway Bridge
and part of Lake Ponchartrain.Police have the Lake Poncartrain Causeway
Bridge blocked off.Power is out in the Superdome and the roof is leaking
and it is raining inside the Superdome.

Yikes...the local officials were not kidding when they called it the
refuge of last resort. Estimates were that 100,000 people could not
make it out of New Orleans, but only some 9,000 people are inside the
superdome the last time I heard a news cast. Understandably the Red
Cross decided to not open its shelters during the hurricane.

Some electric power lines are down in the Hattiesburg area.(Hattiesburg
is 95 miles Southeast of Jackson.Local Jackson tv weather folks predict
wind gust of up to 60 to 80 miles per hour in the Jackson area later on
this afternoon/evening.(The weather guy on www.wapt.com tv news in
Jackson just now said there will be 100 mile per hour wind gust in the
Jackson area) I guarantee you the electric power lines in the Jackson
area can't handle those kinds of wind gust,not for long anyway.I fully
expect my electric power to go out later on today/tonight.

Thank You, God! What a wonderful blessing!

Gee, that is a kind and thoughtful thing to say to someone in the path
of a hurricane. Do you have any other performances today?

Well, isn't the dividing line the Mississippi River?

CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be !

There are some radio stations that the Mississippi River isn't the
"divideing line" for.I have known that since back in the 1940's when I
was a little boy (I am a big boy now gals) and I started tuneing around
on our big old home radio in Carthage,Mississippi.I was listening to our
radio before I was even born.I will ride them Radio Waves to Radio
Heaven when I croak.

Clicking on it now. Thanks.
