Missed  Lee L. and Matt though both likely evacuated New Orleans as 
would anyone sane. I know Lee evacuated.

Don't know where Mark lives.

Next go around forget T.V. images as they're deceptive, go to
www.bbsr.edu/Weather/satellite.html 
and select the LEFT side of the East coast Geosynchronous 
infrared satellite link.

All that chroma on steroids _enhanced_ T.V. weather imagery 
is showing you radar of RAIN for the most part and NOT the real
extent or track from the storm.

Heck this one didn't even toss significant rain my way and winds
briefly hit 40 MPH gusts.
