The one that got him away

A good Times-Picayune article on local weatherman / legend Nash Roberts, who inspired legions of young New Orleanians to track storms on the back of Schweggman's bags. Katrina marked his first evacuation of New Orleans for a hurricane in 60 years. Once again, he called it right. (Thanks to Philip Seymour Morphy, esq., who needs to get his blog mojo working again).
