So Far So Good
My little slice of northwest Florida seems to be doing well with the admittedly little we're getting of Katrina. The lights have been flickering, and actually went out for about a second around 0700. We've had less rain than we can get from a good summer thunderstorm. The wind has been moderately impressive, but hasn't caused any damage. I've been flipping around between Fox News, the local Fox affiliate, MSNBC, The Weather Channel, and WEAR, the local ABC affiliate, and other than water on the roads (such as Highway 98 along Okaloosa Island), the impact seems to be fairly light.
And maybe, just maybe, New Orleans has dodged The Big One.
