There's a lady calling in to one of the local TV stations here who is located outside of the levee system and did not evacuate.
She is trapped in her attic with her elderly mother and pleading for help.
She says the water in her house is up to the ceiling.
She says her truck broke down, preventing her from evacuating.
9 feet of water covering his first floor????? D-D-D-D-DAMN!!

The thing that would worry me the most about hurricane force winds is what they say about...."IT IS NOT THAT THE WIND IS BLOWING 80 MPH, IT IS WHAT THE WIND IS BLOWING AT 80 MPH... e.g street signs, 2x4s, eggs, trash, chickens etc etc etc. I dont wanna get hit by a chicken (or egg) flying at 80 mph... that might ouch.
Yeah, since I don't have a garage, I'm worried about my car that is parked outside.
I'll go out later to see how it is.

Appears they lost power down there... as the eye moves by New Orleans...
We still have power in the French Quarter, probably because the lines are underground here.
No flooding reported, as of yet, within the levee system.
The heaviest winds came in about two hours ago, gusting up to 62 MPH.
The whole house has been shaking overnight.
It's like I spent a night on one of those vibrating beds in a cheap hotel room, and I didn't even have to put a quarter in the machine !
Daybreak is soon, and we'll see more of what it looks like then.

Are you seeing the footage of Jim Cantore out on Canal? He is on the weather channel, water up to his knees, holding onto a fire hydrant trying to keep from blowing away... he is kind of nuts.

As a last resort, we can always try smoke signals!

No South Florida (West Palm Beach area). If we don't hear from him, I'm getting in my car and go look for him (only problem is I don't know what he looks like)!

I tried to upload some video of Jim hanging on to the fire hydrant, but it failed... and I am lazy... so I didnt try twice... but it is pretty funny looking.... then Al Roker went out with Jim (in sideways rain / 40-60 mph winds) and it looked redonkulous
Here is pic (of the TV) of Jim holding on to the fire hydrant.

The "eye" of Isaac, for which there hasn't really been one, a clear one anyway, stayed south of New Orleans. It's now heading NW slowly towards - supposedly - Baton Rouge after hanging out over Thibodaux and Houma most of the day. Storm surge in Lake Pontchartrain has gone up and in some places is higher than it was for Ike but still a little short of Rita and a good ways below Katrina.
