I wondered where Ali Velshi was today since he usually broadcasts early Sunday. I figured that since he's substituted for every host during the past few weeks that it must be his turn for time off. But I was wrong - he's in New Orleans today reporting that the power is out! Between the winds and the rain, they're saying this is worse than Katrina. And it's headed north! Stay safe! 
2 days of heavy rain forecast starting tomorrow, of course with flash flood warnings.
