Some storm center collapsed in MS? Listening to MSNBC but missed the name. Everyone likely got out.

Yep, it's really hard to get rushed to the hospital by boat. People need to be really careful.

Yes, I'm sure you're right. Police arrest and lawyers release or judges throw out cases. Grrr.

They should shoot anyone taking advantage of this type of circumstance. It is the only way to make sure they get the message. The question is what part of the body to shoot at.

New video on WWL from Rampart and Canal streets in downtown New Orleans. No major flooding in that area. Typical hurricane wind damage (awnings, some cars smashed by falling bricks, downed trees), nothing catastrophic.

Center of mass. If you miss and they stop, gotta be content with brutalizing them. If they run....

Curious to what he said concern the border crisis!

I do HOPE he's changed his position on this problem!

Not only is it a major problem, but! I see Republicans taking a big hit in 2006 & 2008!
