The military train is starting to move out of the station and this one is LONG.
Thanks all for the info about my marine buddy.
Heart breaking is all I can think!
This is a tradegy of tremendous proportions!
Lord, give wisdom to our leaders!
I'm suprised Hillary isn't down there with Landrieu already.
At least Landrieu appears to be at least in control, can't say the same for the governor.
Maybe it is because a lot of us do not trust the RedCross anymore. Our donations are going to other organizations, like the Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, etc.
You know, dem "tousand points o light", that do it because it needs to be done, not because they pay the high level execs "mucho dinares", and have spendy TV commercials every time there is a disaster...
The only thing I've heard is on WWL yesterday from the Plaqueminnes Parish president who said the levys were breached and the southern tip of the parish was "gone" and the river "reclaimed" the areas on either side of the river.
it didnt look like they were having success with that fire.
That's what they said on CNN, exactly. That things weren't going well with the fire.
Again, it is so incredibly sad. A huge chunk of American history is apparently about to go up in flames. And if the fire doesn't take it, weeks of being in water will.
Are they looting the art, jewelry, and portable antiques or are they only taking tv's and athletic shoes?
Our prayers for you. I'm hope we are treating you well here in Atlanta. Except for the silly gas panic, that is. Sit tight. That'll be over in a day or two.
you would have thought that the huge screens within the superdome would have still been capable to operate with a satellite signal and the generator. Information about the scale of what has happened might well have keep the anger level WAY down.
It's not FOX. I am watching WWLTV (a New Orleans TV station) and their reporters are saying pretty much the same thing. They interviewed some folks being loaded onto trucks by the National Guard and neither the folks nor the National Guard even knew where they were going.
Not EVERYTHING is the responsibility of the Federal Government... if they don't do something about getting these people educated and decent jobs and paying taxes instead of collecting NO and cities like her are doomed for failure.
Sadly, I agree with that. Another nightfall coming up....
I agree, NN; I pop in from time to time but am so grateful for these threads. I am sure that people all over the country, and even beyond, check in on this thread for the very latest.
Thank you.
Anybody heard from Freeper "Omegatoo"?
Thanks for the ping, Angel!
My husbands DMAT team is still sitting in Alabama!
