A New Orleans city police car with its rear window broken is abandoned in flood waters on Canal Street in downtown New Orleans August 29, 2005, in advance of Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Louisiana coast on Monday with 140 mile per hour (224 kph) winds as the powerful storm came ashore from the Gulf of Mexico and took aim at low-lying new Orleans.

Not as bad as first thought, but we'll have to wait and see. Not over yet.

Perhaps the prayers of just a few were enough for the Almighty to spare the city.

There is still time for you to accept Christ MurryMom.

"As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

Ephesians 2:1-5

What kind of stupid comment is that? Exactly what would you have the President do right now?

Shut up, and go away.
Comments like that are not needed,
nor wanted.

She thinks that Bush made it rain on Louisiana.

MurryMom only understands when you backhand her across the face hard enough for her few brain cells to register pain.

"I'm not doing too good right now," Chris Robinson said via cellphone from his home east of the city's downtown. "The water's rising pretty fast. I got a hammer and an ax and a crowbar, but I'm holding off on breaking through the roof until the last minute. Tell someone to come get me please. I want to live."

Sheesh!! Darwin Award prospect?

I can almost predict how the Left will pin this on President Bush - they'll somehow say the storm is a consequence of global warming, which President Bush somehow is responsible for.

Normally, I ignore her posts.
I, usually, don't deem her worthy of a comment.
But, today, she got on my last nerve.

I notice she didn't mention Karl Rove, though. ;o)

Agreed. This guy is a dumb@ss. He's the reason that rescuers' lives are needlessly put in danger because he was "tough" at the time the evacuations were declared.

Actually Ivan, you are not far off. They are saying there are not enough National Guard troops to hand out bottled water food, and other things to them because they "are all fighting an illegal war in Iraq, and can't serve us."

They are also wearing tinfoil hats, saying that Bush wants the evil Haliburton corporation to get contracts to help rebuild and aid hurricane victims, and that this was his intention all along.

You can't make this stuff up.
