For SELA residents - Eye on the Hurricane

#1 Postby sunny » Mon Jun 06, 2005 7:22 am

Tonight on Channel 4 at 7. Will cover new evacuation procedures and maps.


Those of you in New Orleans know we've had a good rain this morning. My sister just called me, she is stuck on Manhattan and the Expressway with water up to the hood of her car. Can you imagine if we were to get hit by a major cane?!
