Tonight, as I sleep, I will be surrounded by the voices on WWL-AM out of New Orleans. Tonight, for once, it is coming through here as clear as a bell.

God bless the folks on the northern Gulf Coast, and may we all be so lucky that Katrina fizzles out overnight and drops to a Cat4 or a Cat3.

Somewhere around 0230, I could no longer get a signal from WWL—which might or might not mean anything—but, blessedly, Katrina has weakened ever-so-slightly.
