From the looks of things I'm safely bunkered down for the night.
I have all the comforts of home...except I'm not home...again, I'm in Slidell, LA.
But, I have my laptop and my dad's computer with dozens of area websites up as we at The News are constantly getting information and putting it on panews.com. I'm enjoying the folks over there at KLVI and their streaming audio newscast, as I always seem to do in situations like this. Harold Mann is a good friend of mine, and I always make sure to tell him how much I appreciate what they do as Southeast Texas scatters.
It's a little reassuring what I'm hearing from some of the people calling in that stayed behind. There was a caller on a few minutes ago who lived on 27th Street in Nederland who still had power. This, as the storm is slowly making its way across shore.
With my house in Groves/Mid-County, I'm a little relieved at that news.
For those eyeing the web, as much as I'd like to say stay here at panews.com, we recognize other news organizations abilities to do what they do best. The radio guys have a live stream going and KFDM Channel 6 is doing periodic live video streams. The next one is in an hour at 10 p.m.
Managing Editor Amy Moore and I have been vigilantly gathering any information we can and will continue to do so until we fall asleep at our computers. So stay with us and feel free to let us know how you're doing. Again, if you have any questions, comment with them.
Untill next time...

Hey Mike keep it up! Too bad its coming in the middle of the night. I'm most concerned about tornados. Those things scare the crap out of me.
I took a video on the PA levy wall earlier. These kids were still flying kites, how crazy. The cops made them leave soon after. its on www.pollabear.org
