This thread is for Katrina news and updates.
It depends on where the state lands are located. Outside of the coastal parishes the weather is pretty much noneventful because it doesn't get too cold, flood or get the tornadoes. Hopefully they will locate them in the northern part of the state by Grambling or there abouts.
Great editorial.

Anyway... this 'idiot' actually said everyone knows the President is at fault because he was so slow to order evacuation -- then she says -- 'look at the movies, there is an emergency and Harrison Ford picks up the phone and says to someone on the other end to do it now! Bush didn't do that because he didn't care and hates blacks'
I almost fell out of my chair. This is what the country bases a President on now -- Harrison Ford!! To hell with Federal Laws... this is the way it's done in MOVIES!!!!
I say we start an Honore' in '08 movement ~LOL~

Yes, I saw part of it. I walked away from the tv and tried to find something productive to do around my house. For the life of me I don't know why they even put a microphone in front of some of these people.
Life is like a box of chocolates...
These TV stations are owned by the nation's largest and most-respected media companies, including: ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times ..
LMAO
However, if they are relocated to locations north of I 10 they really are pretty much out of the danger zones for the storms. The central and northern part of the state does not have the same risks to storms as the coastal and lower parishes. Send them to Ouachita, Jackson or Lincoln Parish or somewhere there abouts. There is NOTHING there except pine trees. One parish in western Louisiana just got land line phones to them. I'm talking out in the boon docks.
I don't know if this has been discussed on this thread, but I just heard Rush discuss that there are going to be $2000 debit cards given to each hurricane victim???
What connotes a victim??? Each person in family...??
There is a new thread about it...I didn't know if ya'll had that here or not.
True, but how are they going to get these people out of those mobile homes? They are saying FEMA wants this to be temporary but for some of the people this will be better than where they were before in NO. They will not be able to get them out of there.
WDSU:
EPA says bacteria levels are 10 times acceptable levels.
Big fire in warehouse district, empty building.

Rush was on a roll today exposing Demoncratic hypocracy.
Officials/rescuers going door-to-door, spray painting info on wall indicating house has been searched, on what date, if anyone found, if any chemical hazard.
If congress wants to change anything for future storms. They need to take another look at chain of command.
