The Tuesday, July 25th edition of the Times-Picayune has a wonderful article on Nash Roberts in the Living Section. Anyone that has spent any time in or around New Orleans knows the legacy of Nash Roberts. Though retired in 2001, Roberts still follows hurricanes. Katrina was the first hurricane Roberts evacuated for (me too). Roberts call Katrina the worst hurricane to hit New Orleans in the history of the city......MGC

Good ol' Nash!!! I can see him standing beside that old weather map, marker in hand, explaining all the ins and outs while drawing the fronts/systems that could affect a storm or its movements... all with that relatively soft, but ever so confident tone. Legend indeed! It was great reading some of his talk on this one.
Thanks here also.

I haven't read the article, but plan on doing so. I loved and respected Nash Roberts sooooooooooo much. He knew when a storm was coming and where it was going. I would get soooo enthralled when he would start drawing lines all over the place and trying to understand what he was saying........I remember it well. Our cable dropped WWL and I really miss that channel.
