Yet we always say that a Bush's lack of speaking ability says nothing about his intelligence and his ability to lead.
The guy was just not that bad. If you want bad, try to remember Chief Moose in the sniper shootings the Atlanta Sherriff during the courthouse shootings.
You know you're in trouble when the natural gas mains break and the downed power lines ignite the gas *awhoom* and the howling wind blows it out, and this cycle repeats over and over again.
When the wind rips street signs loose from their metal poles and they go spinning through the air like lethal frisbies.
When the flooding water causes red ants, snakes, and rodents to seek shelter in your house.
Nothing to it...best for you and yours.
Sorry, but I just think that in the case of natural disasters a government is supposed to plan for the safety of all of its citizens, not just the smart ones and the ones who own cars. There are a whole lot of children in the Superdome, you know. Are they undeserving idiots, too?
I wonder if the N.O. radar installation will even survive the storm... IIRC, the Miami radar site was toppled during the wrath of Andrew.
Maybe
Maybe not ;0)
Dang! No wonder there is a back-up.

Do you still have family in NO?
and I guess you think Morial was a better mayor?
That's remarkable; out west it's not unusual for 60-70 MPH winds to overturn trucks and trailers on the highway -- especially on the lee slopes of the Rockies. I was directly behind a travel trailer when that happened.
I guess we'll just have to disagree on this one Jeff. Thanks for the response.
can you repost the link?
FNC just said that three elderly people died, trying to get out of NO.
Talk, heck. When he was READING his prepared statement, he sounded like a student reading aloud in a remedial class.
To some degree, you are correct. However, factor in the elderly and mentally incapacitated. Factor in the people without mode or means of escape. Factor in stupidity of "leaders" who did stuff like... oh, kept the Ponchatrain bridge traffic flow going in usual direction instead of opening both lanes to get OUT.
It was all so very odd to see the mayor stumble the way he did, because I had always heard that he was a significant improvement over the previous mayors. Had made some headway in cleaning up some of the corruption and improving the police force. But I agree that he made some major mistakes this time, that unfortunately will likely cost lives.
I bet the radar doesn't stand up with this storm either.
Eyewall replacement lasted 20 minutes according to Channel 2. Hurricane force winds go out 105 miles from the eye.
No problem. Thanks for being reasonable and not resorting to name calling.
