LOL! Before, you wouldn't believe it because the Lame Stream media wasn't reporting...

Now that it has, and is even quoting the mayor, now you you want physical numbers to believe this.

ppppffff.

I thought the mayor said hundreds dead and feared it was thousands in NO alone.

I'm waiting to see a hard statement from a responsible official. Do you have a source that the NO mayor said he has official reports of thousands dead in NO? Not feared dead, but confirmed dead.

Most of the heated discussion on this thread is about loose reporting and jumping to conclusions. Even if those conclusions are ultimately proven correct, it's still problematic to accept them as news sources.

Well, the cool thing about FR is one can assess, by how others reveal themselves, how discerning, prudent, shrewd, accurate, levelheaded, informed, intelligent, and and all around freeper-wise posters are in the span of a day. After that, one can reasonbly lend credence to a poster, or dismiss him. You've been quite above reproach here nic.

And we all learned breaking news early on: the kind of news and information we can only get from FR, thanks to citizen reporting from the likes of MFH. This helps a lot in disastors and emergencies, such as this or 9/11.
