Hell, Walmart could probably topple China by itself -- all they'd have to do is mandate that all their suppliers have to be anywhere but China (India, Indonesia, SE Asia, etc). It'd collapse their economy.

CNN: Increased looting, residents told to stay out of downtown. Also starting to rain. Car-jackings by people trying to flee the city.

Yes, absolutely.
The reality is that the mold problems alone will condemn that city if they follow EPA guildlines. Now it sounds like a toxic waste dump to top that.
We are all safe.
LSU has suspended classes until after Labor Day. The U is the staging area for military and other ER vehicles going to NO. There are 500 special needs patients at the field house and more expected. Considering opening the Marevich center to hospital evacuees.
I think LSU canceled its first game against some podunk college, no offense intended.

Fine you can stand in a mile long line if you care to. Me I want to be as far away from the crowd as possible.
I've got an 18-footer. Where does on volunteer?
No.
