OT: Hurricane Katrina

Rick · 28th August 2005, 06:00 PM

I talked to my buddy who runs a 125' crew boat out of LA this am ; they are making a run for Galveston and for sure he's bucking a heavy quartering swell .

He's passing fully loaded supertankers heading for port in LA and TX .

Traffic out of New Orleans is creeping along at 2mph.

The storm is showing 200mph gusts with no sign of weakening before landfall .

here's a handy page to watch the progress from :
