I knew that! I lived in NO East in different places from 68-80. Got out there while they were building a lot of the wetlands into housing. We used to get chased by these huge mosquitos and it was a mile to the busline. My junior high was 20 miles away because they hadn't built a middle school out there yet.
When Camille blew up there was no way my daddy was going to stay there.
So we left, and it took four or five hours to get across NO.
The hurricane hit Georgetown?
Sorry for the cheap shot.
"WWL- Interviewed a New Orleans Police officer that got in his patrol car, quit, and drove west...
Says no leadership, no support...
And hopefully no pension for this coward."
And how about Grand Theft Auto for starters.
Scanner Update
Report of NOPD officers and Firemen are stranded at Holy Cross College.
It was in the house!
I was chastised earlier for giving locations....
Just heard 2 fireman are stranded and need help.....
Howard Fineman on MSNBC; evidently Newsweek will be coming out with a HUGE hit piece on Bush next week.
He basically said nobody criticized him during 9-11 because we were attacked by a foreign entity, but all bets are off now.
Great stuff!
I love Mike Shelton's work.
Thanks for posting this.. :)
What it means is that Grande Isle was not in the eyewall. It was to the west of it. Port Sulfer and Delecroix and Venice, now they took it on the chin.
Heard also. EOC asked for a repeat.
The wikpedia article says he had supported Bush in the past, probably 2000, but reluctantly supported Kerry in 2004. But, he supported the republican candidate for governor over Blanco... could we have some political payback going on? Nothing worse than a scorned woman.
Now he's saying that Bush is basically an open target for all the pent up rage against him now because he's in a political role, not a CIC role during war time.
That is such a sweet picture! Where was this picture taken from?
Howlin, in all fairness, I think Fineman is blaming the HSD and the way it was put together by congress.
Now if you will allow me a disclaimer on the above statement: Of course there will be times when the gov't, no matter at what level, should be there to assist its people. My point is that what we Americans tend to forget in times of peace and quiet, is that we are all Americans and we will help each other out no matter what the cost. (remember the San Francisco quake? How many strangers were helping strangers. Again, can I say 911?)
You mean they've been holding their rage til now?? Right.....
OK...I heard the eyewall went right over Grande Isle along with L.O.O.P. that's not true?
