    I am not all that tech savy so I dont know who is running this website, but THANKS SO MUCH! I am watching the live streaming video out of NOLA at all hours and am reading on the links on thie page. Apprecaited greatly that all this info is in one place.

  2. Rick, Thank you *very* much for the kind words, and thanks for visiting the site! There certainly is plenty of information online, and I’m glad you are finding the convergence of some of these resources useful.

    A while back, I read a news article, possibly at the weather bug, speaking to the advancements made in having the ability to control distructive weather patterns with the ability to shift a storms direction and divert water to the sea. I have not heard anything more on it for a very long time. I may be off a little, but think this was prior to 2001. Might you have anything more on it for me? I woish so to revisit that printing for research. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Make it a great day!

  4. Barb, Unfortunately, I don’t recall the story. I’ll do some searching and let you know if I find something on this… Thanks!
