So Long, Ernesto?
Well, it looks like ol' Ernesto is making a bit of a turn to toward Florida, and has a good chance of weakening over Cuba. This is certainly good news for New Orleans. Which is good, becasue the Army Corps of Engineers basically told us that the levee system would probably fail. My wife and I don't even talk about it in front of our kids, which turns out to be a good decision because a lot of kids I know went into a full on panic when hearing about Ernesto.
In other news, the Rising Tide conference (WARNING: excessively revolutionary imagery) of New Orleans bloggers and others was a great success, not least because of the presence of Wall Street Journal reporters and newly minted book-authors Chris Cooper and Bobby Block. We will be talking more and more about their book this week, and Bobby may drop by for a chat. For now you should just go buy it.
Agreed. The conference was good, and "Disaster" is a must read for everyone.
