Gov. Blanco....Bless her little heart.

[RightWhale]

This one is headed for Texas. If Louisiana gets anything it will be rain, not much wind.

"Kathleen Blanco declared a state of emergency"

About three weeks late and a few billion dollars short.

[digger48]

Sure you don't need 24 hours to think about it first?

[prairiebreeze]

And Blanco was able to do this all by herself, even without calls from the POTUS and Director of National Hurricane Service.

Color me unimpressed.

[RedWhiteBlue]

This morning it's a little more westerly. It can move in any direction based on the winds. And so that concerns us," Ms Blanco said.

Am I reading that right? Does she think that the wind is what pushes the hurricane in a given direction?

[LasVegasMac]

We've declared another emergency ...

Did you learn from the first one - that was 'declared' for you?

You make me sick, you dumb beotch.

"We have had an influx of evacuees that have made their way to the convention centre. We've already evacuated two busloads of individuals," Mr Nagin said."



Glory be!
He's figured out what to do with the buses!

[Eastbound]

Keep us informed, i_dont_chat. Thanks.

"We have had an influx of evacuees that have made their way to the convention centre. We've already evacuated two busloads of individuals," Mr Nagin said. "

Wonder where they took them?

I'm in Mobile and every motel/hotel, travel trailer park and etc are crammed full.
It must be even worse west of here.

[blogblogginaway]

Mo money?

[CharlesWayneCT]

Did anybody else catch Governor Jeb Bush on live this afternoon, just as the hurricane hit the worst in his state. He was telling people where to go, what to do, he explained all the preparations made and how long people could expect to sit before being rescued.

In other words, he exuded the confidence of someone who was in charge.

That was missing after Katrina in Loiusiana, from the local, state, and unfortunately the FEMA director.

["We have had an influx of evacuees that have made their way to the convention centre. We've already evacuated two busloads of individuals," Mr Nagin said. ]

Looks like even a dumbass like Nagin can figure out how to get a bus loaded now.

[eyespysomething]

Glad they're doing it right this time, of course, only a few hundred thousand less people.

"We have had an influx of evacuees that have made their way to the convention centre.

I can't believe anyone would do that, no matter for a ride or not.

Hm, anything left to loot?

What about Houston, oh wait, that's Texas, nevermind...

[evangmlw]

Whare da hell was deeze peeples edumucated?

[RGSpincich]

When did they cancel the other state of emergency? Either you is or you isn't in a state of emergency. FEMA is already on the ground there. Grandstanding a little?

[Safetgiver]

We've declared another emergency ....I didn't know she declared one before. She was waiting cause she assumed Nagin did, assumed Brown did, assumed Bush did.
