This may be the best news feature since the Mobile Leprechaun.

Sweeps is an amazing time of year.

Just put the bow on our 24-hour Isaac coverage. We’re back to regular, slightly longer newscasts and I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to watch Inside Edition tonight.

Isaac Update

I’ve been yelling in anchor’s ears since 10:30 this morning, and now my work today is done. I’m still pretty wound up, as you can imagine.

Lots of indignant calls and emails to the newsroom this morning from people in New Orleans and Metairie who think they deserve sandbags. I guess they don’t want to be left out of the sandbaggery after watching our news ticker with info on all the other parishes offering sandbags.
