Katrina spinning off plenty of tornados. Many radar sites down. Lots of FReepers looking for local reports.

Back at you for Kramer and Vandelay: LOL.

Speaking of plain speaking, did you just now hear Haley Barbour talk to those who wanted to rubberneck on flooded roads?

"You don't have any business being on the roads anyway."

"We also STILL cannot get through to Slidell, Covington, or Mandeville to check on those who stayed. We'll post anything specific & confirmed that we get. One of the "stay behinds" is with northshore EMS/Fire Dept. so the info will be legit."

If it's not too much trouble, would you please ping me when you post info on the Northshore? Thank you so much. LS

CNN reporting that conditions along the Mississippi coast are "Andrew-like". Gary Tuchman is reporting looting in Gulfport (or Biloxi.)

Found the NOLA body story. says 200 on roofs not 400.

02:37 PM CDT on Monday, August 29, 2005

WWLTV.com

Mayor Ray Nagin said that 200 people were stranded on rooftops in the Lower Ninth Ward and several “bodies are floating in the water” in the Bywater neighborhood and in Eastover.

Nagin made the announcement in his first press briefing after Hurricane Katrina slammed just east of the city, but did plenty of devastation to New Orleans.

Nagin said that the 200 stranded people included 20 police officers who were riding out the storm at their homes in preparation to take over shifts from other officers. He said that boats would be dispatched on rescue missions later in the afternoon.

Mayor Nagin issued a "boil water" recommendation for water in the city - except for Algiers and the CBD due to a water main line break that may have compromised the water.

Nagin said at least 20 buildings in the city had collapsed and that it might be 48 hours before residents would be allowed back to their homes to assess the damage.

From what I've heard, the situation in Hancock County, Mississippi (home of Bay St. Louis and Waveland) is very grim.
