Note to self: Keep a list of these can't live without items handy - written with a sharpie
myself as well...
I still can't find much on that "Racist" Fema excersise from a few months ago...
Yep. I was one of those predicting disaster on Saturday/Sunday. Damn, I would love nothing better than to have been wrong!
Wouldn't hurt to nudge business. My Co-workers were discussing this on their own today, carpooling to work. Someone else is going to take a bike instead of car though that will only last till the snow hits later in the year.
We won't know who all of them are until later,lots of freepers and Bloggers have been doing this since day one. National Geographic, History Channel, Weather Channel to name a few. They will get it right. All this info is public knowledge and available to whomever asks for it. The Washington Times, NY Post, ETC, Etc. The Dems are circling the Wagon on this already and for good reason, the truth will come out.
The barge was in the industrial canal,,pics were there very early. It banged all the way thru the levee and was on the opposite side after the storm.
Mississippi and Louisiana are already declared disaster areas. I think I would prefer it if they would just announce that everyone needs to stay at home for a certain period of time -- say a week, so that the roads and resources will be readily available for rescue efforts. Exceptions could be made for essential employees assisting in relief efforts and for emergency and medical personnel. Desperate needs for food and medicine could be met by local emergency management personnel or designated volunteers. Then maybe everybody would quit driving around wasting gas by looking for a place to buy gas. This is probably naive and foolish, but I can't believe there isn't a better way than the utter chaos that we're seeing now.
Just paid 55.00 bucks to fill up Explorer. Cheapes price was 3.19 here in Drums PA.
Gun shows, pawn shops, gun dealers....
Though most pawn shops have been looted from what my family in BR has told me.
Hey Sis! :o)
"The barge was in the industrial canal,,pics were there very early. It banged all the way thru the levee and was on the opposite side after the storm."
That certainly makes sense. However, levees are designed to withstand those kinds of collisions. Combine a soggy levee that's already been stressed to the max with that sort of collision and it's a recipe for disaster.
Well, to Ann Rice, NO is the ground zero for all her books.
Yes. I know we as nation will prevail. Yet, sitting under a dry roof, I feel selfish.
I have donated to organizations and will continue to do so. In the meantime, I am numb, even more so than four years ago - as this is like watching 9/11 in slow motion. And, despite my last night's rant, I have watched TV news - only muting op ed pieces by talking heads. The images and survivors' stories are important to keep as others have said on threads.
whatever non-essential trips you can eliminate - do it. try not to drive. I drove 14 miles in the last 3 days. we can get through this if everyone conserves where they can.
BTW, mom and dad are going to stay one more day and head out on Monday. Still planning on taking I-20...
Thanks, I knew you'd know via the Power of the Threads;)
I came across this site using Google Maps to disseminate information regarding status of certain locations in the aftermath of the hurricane. Hopefully it is of some use to people here trying to get info.
