Hurricane is coming ashore as a CAT 3 storm, but a weak one. Weather Nerd reports the eyewall has disintegrated. Downtown New Orleans is feeling hurricane force winds, according to news guy 'in a protected alcove'. Says water pouring out of sewer holes, and manhole covers are rolling around.

City of Franklin is going to get a direct hit.

Here in my Uptown condo the wind is gusting and rain sheets are blanketing the area. Becky and I are safe, and the dogs are calm (medication helps). We don't have power, but we have running water, lots of batteries and more tech gadgets than should be allowable.

For more frequent updates, check my Twitter page. And for excellent local coverage check the Blog of New Orleans. Thanks for all your concern. Over and out.
