Stay safe, New Orleans. Katrina is a now a category 3. Here's the Nola Hurricane guide. And a great song, Come On Sheila, with a Nola hurricane reference, by my favorite Louisiana artist, Zachary Richard, from the album Snake Bite Love. (very catchy audio clip here.)

I’ve been waiting here since this morning,
I’ll wait as long as it will take.
Down in the old town of the city of New Orleans,
With my heart so heavy it might break.

Last night they put up a hurricane warning,
Last night you came into my room.
Around midnight the rain started falling,
I was holding on to you.

If you're wondering who Sheila is:

Sheila was a dancing girl working in the evening,
On the altar of old men’s fantasies,
She hitched down from north Mississippi
With a lot of hope and one pair of jeans.

If you're in New Orleans or thereabouts and blogging, let us know how you're doing.

    Keep an eye on this one. If NHC is correct this is close enough to the disaster scenario for NO that it will cause significant trouble, the least of which is oil. No offence MGR.
