As is a good radio operators practice to always LISTEN before you key up your station. It is doubly important to follow that practice this week as you are tuning around the bands.  
 
Hurricane ISAAC will make land fall about 2AM on Wednesday Aug. 29, 2012 somewhere along the LA, MS, AL coastline.  This morning’s projections target the SE LA coast to be the center of landfall.
 
As for of now projections are for portions the storm to be over EASTERN OKLAHOMA from approx. 2AM Friday Aug. 31 – 2AM Saturday Sept. 2.
