Katrina Live Thread, Part X
Various ^ | 30 August 2005

Posted on 08/30/2005 6:51:27 AM PDT by NautiNurse

Catastrophic damage occurred to Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Major bridges are destroyed. Mobile AL suffered its worst flooding in 90 years. In New Orleans, a large section of concrete levee broke last night. Water continues to rise, threatening, among many things, Tulane Hospital with 1000 patients. New Orleans officials: Do not attempt to return to the city at this time if you evacuated. It is too dangerous.

I'm going into lurk mode for a while so people with good information can be seen. Prayers for the people of the Gulf Coast, for strength and safety and resilience.

It looks like the scope of this catastrophe is finally being realized. Prayers go out for the people in the area of devastation. And someone needs to tell Senator Mary L. to stop politicizing this and blaming Bush. Her father was a part of the problem in Louisiana.

Reporting in from SW Ohio (greater Cincinnati area) ... heavy rain now falling, no wind, although heavy gusts are expected later. 3 to 4 inches (possibly more) of rain expected in the next 18 hours.

Probably rejoicing that the Great Satan got hit.

Don't expect much help for anyone else but ourselves.

Where is Kofi Annan?

Is he flying in a helicopter over New Orleans to look at the devastion?

Has Saudi Arabia sent financial assistance yet?

It is DISGUSTING how the Democrat Party has sent out talking points to have all democrat interviewerees bashing Bush.

Every democrat who has appeared is just talking down the ecconomy and talking down any hope and especially angling to blame Pres. Bush.

(ie. "Mr." Bush wore the wrong necktie and thus oil prices are going to go up.)
