I told someone this morning that was my theory for the bus explosion ... I felt mean saying it, but I remember my husband's elderly aunt on oxygen sneaking cigarettes in the bathroom. How she managed to eventually die without blowing up the house is a miracle.

[nevergore]

Yeah...but I've been to fish to drunk...

NeverGore :^)

Heard a witness interview earlier state that one of the tires was on fire. Speculation it was sparks from the brakes. I have no doubt that oxygen caused the ultimate conflagration.

So sorry--Shep sure seems bummed that things aren't becoming as disastrous as he seemed to wish. Now he's talking about how the US flag has been thru some Cat 3's. GOOD GRIEF--where's Brit!

"Nobody taught 'er that it takes a lot of water,to wash away New Orleans"-Leon Everett. I guess they're learning now,that there's enough water,after all.

[milagro]

Rita, or Helen?

"I think we have a verifiable pattern, eh?"

Yup. I'm thinking closer to Lake Charles than to Port Arthur...maybe right up the Sabine River.

BTW, There's a plaque on Dauphin Island marking it as the Capital of the Louisiana Terrorities in 1699.

There's a new Tornado Watch until 6 am Saturday morning extending from coastal Alabama (including Mobile) through coastal/southern Mississippi (as far north as Hattiesburg) and through the southern half of Louisiana (as far north as Fort Polk). Currently, there are a couple of tornado warnings (I can't keep up with them; sorry).

That should be margaRitas...

[CindyDawg]

Such a pretty "boy"

[Eaker]

I feel obligated to drink margaritas this weekend ... who is buying?

I was going to buy but my last Platinum card just blew out of my hand.........

[NYTexan]

There's no eastward movement in the Lake Charles radar returns.

I have been checking that volcano cam on and off since it became active last year.

Mr. Wilson who was just interviewed said they had fixed the first flat with the help of the DOT and they then heard another pop after they were underway again. He was going to correct himself on his re-telling and the dumb reporters interrupted with a different question so he was never able to fully relay what happened.

[steveegg]

Just what we don't need; a steaming Mt. St. Helens

[milagro]

ROTFLMAO!

[mewzilla]

Helen. We're still waiting for Rita to exhale, aren't we? :)
