defeatism:

According to the government agency I work for, we get much, much better reports than every single news/weather outlet in the country.  And so far they’re predicting a direct hit on New Orleans as a major hurricane.

Due to the extreme sensitivity of my job, the government is paying for me to temporarily relocate to Alabama until the storm passes.  Which means my MacBook will probably be completely fucked.  Great.

Note: my house received 30 feet of water during Katrina.

Before you start arguing with me about how I’m wrong about these predictions, my sources come from non-public material from the DIA, NRO, NG-IA, and NOAA.  So I’m going to trust them over some phony at the Weather Channel.

Uhhhhhh, I reaaally hope the storm isn’t heading directly to New Orleans. I just got in yesterday and my whole extended family is expected to come this weekend.
