Live Streaming Gustav Watch: Hey Bras in Houma

A bunch of guys in Houma, La., right in the path of Gustav, are live streaming their storm watch, otherwise known as drinking beer and sitting around. One of them got up and wandered away, then came back to announce, Dude! There's 2,800 people watching us!

Man, it's interesting to see how people are using Twitter this time around to share info. Check out NolaDawn, YatPundit, MidCityGirl, and GambitWeekly (The altpaper in NOLA.)

Other handy links:
All the tv stations in NOLA, live streaming. (You'll have to turn down the volumes on all of them but the one you want to watch.)

It's amazing to watch Bourbon Street live.

A guy who gives good link.

    I guess those guys must have missed Katrina, no one would want to go through that more than once. Wait, I have a friend who is going to do just that. I can't believe it. In all other respects she is smart.

    I have a mom who's doing just that. She was not under mandatory evacuation until early this evening when they expanded the area to the north of the 12 -- by then she was afraid of getting stuck on the road when the storm hit.

    nik -- great gustav links -- thanks!
