Several people have requested a thread JUST for images of the storm.
Post them here, please.
Really?

I would like to know who will be buying homes in the Florida Panhandle in the foreseeable future. Seems like a bad place to put people...
It wasn't at sea. It was in being worked on.
Great improvisation by the aquarium folks. I wonder what the dolphins think of the whole thing? I bet they've never gone on vacation before!
That, my friend is a great pic.
"So . . did they do any kind of safeguard thing to seal up the hole they made, or do we just have tons of oil oozing into the gulf now?"
They do have safeguards and they did close the holes out there.
Damn that's gonna be hard to get removed.
The cost of the bridge + the cost to repair the rig + the cost to modify and unbuild part of the rig to do be fixed, they may just scrape it and build a new one. As for the bridge, they may have to take out a section, though it lookes relatively undamaged (the bridge I mean).
You mean Homestead? (Was in that one) God was that horrible. The weather was so bad, as far as wind went, that after the storm passed I saw a pencil in a three, no kidding.
They don't have gills, they breathe air like whales do. So they have to surface when they want to breathe.
I just saw an interview a local CBS reporter had with a man and one of his children (I think they were in Gulf Shores Mississippi). The devestated man described how he, his wife and kids climbed into their attic to escape the rising water, and how their house split in two and carried his wife away. I'm not a very emotional person, but that interview really hit home. When I find out how to donate to the Red Cross relief fund my check will be in the mail.
that picture got to me also.
Bush was roundly criticized for his "hesitation" and the US response to the Asia tsunami.
People like Chirac, Schroeder, the UN, a clown in Norway all lamented the US response.
Heard anything from them about helping the people of LA, MS or AL yet?
I don't understand how anyone could leave their pets behind....totally selfish.
