cyborg...I doubt he has come to his senses..he probably just lost power or Harrigan has been blown to Hattisburg.

On a side note, can you imagine what would have happened to the Superdome if the storm had come through at its peak? If pieces tore off the dome when the winds were at 130 MPH... Sheesh!

"It and became an embarassment for Free Republic instead of an example of how great the site is."
I think the balance of news/humor on this thread has been perfect. Some may think "Humor? How dare you speak of humor on a day like this..."
However, please keep in mind that many folks in New Orleans, before going into the Superdome last night, were exhibiting surprisingly high spirits and one woman in particular -- forget her name -- held an attitude towards the impending storm which was to be admired.
Therefore, on one hand you have people who are at risk of losing everything maintaining a sense of humor and high spirits concerning this disaster -- these are the folks LIVING it right now.
And on the other hand you have posters here who are at risk of losing NOTHING -- thousands of miles away from the storm -- blasting others for essentially being guilty of nothing slightly more than that of being human.

"I've heard flooding to ceilings & rooftops in N.O., seen pics of structural collapse in N.O., heard a levee broke in N.O., it's still raining, still strong winds (per radar), and they're going home? I am very confused."
Well now I'm confused...I thought that was supposed to be a sarcastic joke of some kind or another...people are actually leaving?!

You are not hyping, many people are in danger right now.

Sorry... I am sure you are concerned- but this is not a cable news show- it is a free republic- a political forum!
You can scroll past posts the same as everyone else. There are some people around here who need to seriously grow the heck up. Some people laugh- some people cry- some people act a fool- some people pray- It's a big world out there-deal people.

Employee just came in and said gas stations all over town have increased price of gasoline by 20 cents/gallon in the past two hours
Would you happen to know where exactly the prices are rising, or is it being seen pretty much everywhere? I was hoping that prices wouldn't start to rise just yet.

Anyone know if this picture is from inside a tunnel? I don't think so. It looks like the area over by City Hall.

Hold on, Hold on, Hold on. The name of the Hurricane is Hurricane Ditka. "Full-size Ditka? or mini tropical storm Ditka?"

check out janetjanet1998's new posting on news/activism!I saw that. I'm hoping we can get some kind of media reports as to any surge topping (or not topping) the levees on the east section of NO.
