The local TV showed the tail end of a conference with the LA governor. She said that St. Tammany parish, Washington parish, and two other parishes were hard-hit. She asked people who had evacuated NOT to come back to NOLA.

That was just a guess. I am not a maritime lawyer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Suites.

What about Cherokee?
Is that a doppler tornado or a touchdown?

CNN reported earlier about a grocery store being looted....said there were whole families, kids and all, bringing out grocery carts full of whatever they could steal. As far as I know, the reporters didn't take any pics

.....

this is the sort of (national insurers))insurance cost that will get spread across the board to everyone.

"Frankly I'm annoyed that anyone is even trying to find them.There are thousands of people who tried their best to get out of harm's way, who are nonetheless in mortal danger right now. Leave the suicidal idiots for later."

lol.... you would keep their friends or children from looking for them because they were idiots? I don't think you are allowed to do that? Good thing you are not in charge, refugees would have to form an orderly line and stand at attention before you would allow them to be rescued...

We just got the second tornado touchdown in Gwinnett County, GA. The Carrolton tornado is reporting a lot of damage.

I really thought GA would escape the wrath of Katrina. This thing must be massive to have arms in Georgia.

See.

With NO pictures, the mass media CAN'T keep showing (while avoiding racial/ethinic profiling) the looters.

So, NOBODY in the mainstream knows about looters!

At least the reporters/cameramen could have "shot" some pictures of the looters to help police identify the criminals.
