We knew the Dome would probably endure some damage, but how horrible that 25' long sections were ripped open in the roof and it's now vulnerable to the wind and rain inside. Can you imagine what being in that place right now with 24,000+ other scared wet individuals is like? Prayers for survival and sanity.

MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972

He is very out-spoken and direct. His ledership in the wake of Katrina will say much as to his political future.

That being said, the NG general that just spoke made it pretty clear that there would be "no quarter" for looters. That is DAMN direct talk in these PC times.

I don't know. Anyone know if people around Keesler AFB still have these bumper stickers on their cars, "Keep America Beautiful, Kill An Airman?"

There was a report by an expert yesterday that snakes would be heading to high ground. He obviously knew what he was talking about.

Yep, he slithered North.

the deaths were not from wind or flooding but from snake bites. Ick.

Exactly.

People survive the storms, but get bitten by snakes!

MSM just seem to slide over the snake problems.

Too Bad Louisiana elected an idiot...

Well, we can just about always say that about Louisiana...:-)

If Barbour is this strident in his speech... I take that as MS having suffered pretty bad in this storm.

Regarding the SPR and Chevron, I read that somewhere on the internet last year when oil was spiking up on price manipulation just before the election. It was probably either on MSN Investor or Bloomberg.com. This was a news article talking about how the SPR was still being filled and what the decision criteria are for an oil release from the SPR. The article gave some background on the SPR and said the oil was delivered to the SPR by Chevron as payment for oil leases. I may have it saved on my old computer, but you might try a Google search on Chevron and Strategic Petroleum Reserve (...a suggestion at the risk of belaboring the obvious....lol).
