According to the caption. I asked Mr. Mew about it, and he said if it ain't broke, why fix it? :)

[NautiNurse]

Jefferson Parish = Western suburb of New Orleans.

That's what I thought. Somebody had posted hearing 250, and I was pretty sure they must have not heard right and it was 215 instead.

Fox cut the President's comments on Iraq, too.

Apparently, Americans can't handle two news stories.

I swear, some people just search FR to find places to pontificate and damn the rest of us to hell, don't they?

I wonder if people take the risk of thousands of Americans dieing lightly... Lets pray for Gods mercy on these people instead of discussing wrath and damnation

IMO

[al baby]

And since a lot of the dead are buried above ground

Then they are not really buried then?

Good. We lived in Baton Rouge during the 1983 flood. It was devastating. And we weren't even near the Mississippi. Of course we had no flood insurance because we were on the 500-year floodplain. Prayers for you and your family.

Poster is gone too.

[Howlin]

I heard gusts to 215.

This thing is just getting bigger and bigger.

My catch up Bookmark

[streetpreacher]

After the costs to insurance and taxpayers, who'd want to rebuild a city that was already a disaster waiting to happen?

[doc30]

whatever happens they are talk about 25% of oil supplies in trouble--beside people and property

Can you give more info? Do you mean that 25% of the U.S refinery capacity will likely be knocked out?

[GnuHere]

How many diving boards?

[TomGuy]

Live at the Super Dome. Crowd amassing.

Mr. Mew also said something about Archimedes screw, and that the principle isn't all that complicated, so I guess you don't really need anything all that fancy, just efficient and dependable.

[Dog]

We need to write the names down on freepers in harms way..

Shep Smith driving INTO New Orleans?

[don-o]

detonating a low yield tactical nuk

Nope - would not make a dent.

[abb]

Well, no Geraldo in New Orleans. But Sheppard Smith is coming in now. Backup. LOL!!!
