Hurricane Katrina made landfall today at 6:10AM CDT, and she continues to drive northward into Mississippi and Alabama. Several local radar sites are down. Tornado and flash flood watches and warnings are widespread.
President Bush has declared major disaster areas, clearing the way for federal aid.

WOW!
Not ever having been in Louisiana, I just looked at the map to see where Grande Isle was located. All I can say, were those people insane? You couldn't get more exposed. The only thing worse would be to go out for a swim to meet the storm.
You can also get paid for your blood!!!!!
I think that is an awesome idea. Dial up may make that thread slow loading but some of us can't get the video to load at all.
"Unfortunately, this flood damage is not covered by insurance. The feds (all of us, that is), are going to have to pay billions to clean this up."
No one sell flood policies in NO? Or is hurricaine related flooding excluded?
MSNBC has an internet feed?
"but the statue of Jesus in the park is untouched - the trees feel all around it. - amazing!"
Wait till the ACLU gets word on that. They will get rid of it.
:(
Good for you!
Re: Grand Isle - I saw a man on tv last night when the sheriff was trying to get him to leave he was refusing. Kept saying 'if it's my time to go then...' Even referred to a family during another hurricane that would have lived if they had just stayed in their house. I heard later today the 7 people stayed behind and were unaccounted for.
I think it is prohibitively expensive.

Good lord.
I have a feeling we're going to see some REALLY bad pictures from Mississippi.

They were interviewing a representative from State Farm (may they burn in Hell) , that's what he said this morning; flood insurance is run by the federal government.
The Salvation Army spends most of the money it gets on help and stuff they give away, not on fund raising, salaries, "conferences" (vacations). The ARC hasn't been caught yet buying Superbowl tickets or 17 year old slutpuppies, like the most corrupt charity caught recently (United Fund IIRC), but I would give to the Salvation Army handsdown over the others. IMO it's run by Christians...
