The Dog. Love that show.
I wonder if Forrest will take them out in his boat.
I read even a local veternarian has opened up his shelter for any pets of evacuees in town, for indefinite stays!
They will keep them until the families are settled and able to have their pets at home once again.
Help in every manner is pouring in throughout the local Southern towns.
Too bad the national media is not focused more on that.

I agree...Carlson has had some pretty good shows during this! I thought I was the only one. He comes across as a real average guy and not a drama queen like the daytime boys like Geraldo and Shep and Cooper. He just needs to lose that gay bow tie. I cant take people seriously if they wear one of those.
I just heard some guy on C-Span lamenting the fact that after millions and millions of dollars spent to raise awareness, fewer than 50% of the people at risk had a hurricane plan.
They are driving this story; all you had to do was listen for "the question of the day."
Was Race a Factor????
All the channels have it today; and Fox has it tomorrow night, too!
I wonder what their next talking point will be?
Oh, thanks a lot... if terrorists take out Glen Canyon that will take out Hoover, Davis, etc... and we are in the path... I figure I'll have water lapping at my front door. Remember there is only one road in or out of here... but it would do a lot of damage in Henderson area, too... not to mention Bullhead City and Laughlin.
City of New Orleans Disaster Plan Hurricane Annex
The Astrodome actually was designed as an emergency shelter, though.
And that ventilation systems has been upgraded at least three times that I can think of. The big problem it has is that it can't be turned off - so they keep it at a nice 72F inside 24/7/365.
The last upgrade was in the early 90s. Also, they limited people in the Astrodome to 12K, sending the rest to Reliant and the convention center.
12K people can camp out in the Astrodome for quite a while without taxing it too much.
When will they do "was STUPIDITY a factor" segment? Stupid mayor/govenor/people who didnt leave/FEMA
Interesting. Keep us informed.
Amen!
Joe is a ... well dang .. I can't type it .. but you know what I mean
The Hurricane hit on Monday, the Levee broke on Tuesday and for the last 3 days they have been trying to clear roads, airports, police the cities, feed a half a million people and transport them
And that is just ONE city
Yep .. the Feds haven't been doing a dang thing
Like, I said ... Go to hell Joe!
That's 'Snipper' to you LOL
MY God! You were serious?
Palacios is takin' em, Port Lavaca is takin' em, Victoria is takin' em. BUT here in south Texas it's gonna be interesting with 2 "minorities" where one "minority" is actually a "majority".
They'll kill each other for sure.
Louis Armstrong International Airport is being used as a processing center to get refugees out of the metro area. Dozens of helicopters transported the stranded to safety Friday
