Well the fawkers went to bed and shut off the audio. (Video still up) Nothing to see here. Move it along.
Kind of weird watching the weather channel and reporter Jim Cantore in his kind of Geraldo-type feeling about the family staying there on the boat in the direct hit area - worrying about the kids that are going to stay there on board the "livelihood" of the family, the boat. He's really upset about it - makes for dramatic tv, of course, but does make you think. The kids certainly have no choice in the matter, and that boat could be blasted with a wall of water and a helluva lot more. I wonder how important the "livelihood" of the family will be if some of the lives are lost?
Chadman I think I could make a case for child endangerment there. Not sure what the local law enforcement situation is in Houma. They probably have a skeleton crew. Regardless those poor kids on the boat and their IQ challenged parents are in line for a near direct eyewall hit and pretty massive storm surge.
