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.

Vibrio is nasty stuff. There are always a few deaths or amputations from it each summer along the Texas coast. It's always present in the water but tends to become a problem in warm stagnant water which NO and other places are full of now. Enters thru cuts and scrapes affects people with weakened immune systems or bad livers (mostly).

Did you all see that liberal author a few minutes ago on FOX... this "white" woman, who was spewing that Bush hates blacks, while the other guest was a black man defending Bush....

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!!!!

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...

I heard an "official" from Florida comment a while back that the reason there were so many deaths last year during their 2 hurricanes back-to-back, was because those communities had a high concentration of MOBILE HOMES...

I think LA..would just be setting up a more disastrous scenario. My goodness, if this storm could demolish Lott's 150 year old house that was probably built about as strong as anything in the last 50 years...what will that do to the mobile homes...

I mean...after all---there could be more hurricanes THIS year...



Then the money grabbing corrupt officials in Louisiana will get more FEMA money.

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.
