Actually saw this on some other politics website. :)
DU, perchance? LOL
What we're hearing about New Orleans is bad enough...and what I heard earlier was they're not even close to making a real assessment on the damage yet.
It's painful to watch the coverage. My heart goes out to all of those people from the NO/Gulfport, MS region.
I really don't know which site I saw it on -- I was looking at several early this morning...but I wouldn't be surprised if something similar does appear on the DU site.
Jim Quinn this morning also read a number of website postings from the liberal enviro whackos -- some of them were similar in tone: Bush could have prevented this if he had been stronger on environmental issues. Geez! Those whackos just don't get it.
I agree regarding the poor folks having to weather this. Last I heard the remnants were coming through Tennessee, supposed to also hit Kentucky and much of the Ohio Valley and possibly head east to New York and New England. Now that path may have changed -- this was the best guess from the weather folks as of about 7:00 a.m. this morning.
Anyway, this storm isn't over yet. The winds may not be as strong, but it's still dumping a lot of rain -- there will be massive flooding. I heard damage estimates in the hundreds of billions of dollars as of yesterday; the tallying from yesterday's hit still isn't done yet, and those who will suffer through the remnants will push that figure a lot higher. We still don't know the human costs yet -- I'm willing to bet there will be hundreds of fatalities. A truly tragic, devastating event.
