Hi all,

Longtime lurker, but this tragedy has drawn me out of the shadows.

Anyone heard anything from the Gretna/Terry Parkway area of the city? In-laws live there(evacuated). I doubt anyone has much info, but I figure it's worth a shot. Thanks.

This would be an ideal time for the terrorists to strike.
What are the waiting for?
With what is going to happen to the US Economy just from this hurricane aftermath, a terrorist strike would deal a lethal blow to us.
