Are you listening to WWL? They just a Pastor on to say a prayer for the city of New Orleans! On the radio!
Is that typical of that radio station? If it isn't, they must be afraid!
do you have an online link for the radio station? thanks.
I heard that, waiting for Nagin's speech. Still trying to believe how unprepared NO is and with all the years of training and budgeting for this, they do too little too late. It is so typical Louisiana.
