Was watching a live cam earlier when a band went through. Not a lot of wind but it rained buckets. Then it was gone.

Water is up to the camera, which is mounted 8 feet up.

I lived for about 3 months in the middle of the desert between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea. Beautiful at night. You go out and lay down on the desert floor and the night sky, stars etc seem like they are right on you because there were no lights for 100 miles in each direction.

Beer Looter is currently on hot stand by.

There is a dude on a boat on the water in Grand Isle calling into CNN. I don’t care how big of a boat you got, 150mph winds with gusts to 185 can **** up any boat.

When does this go political?

About the time the storm passes

HO LEE SHIT

I watched Deep water Horizon, No way in hell I am working on one of those.
