Hurricane Rita Live Thread, Part VI

[A Citizen Reporter]

I actually watched Paula Zahn one night this week, because O'Reilly is so bad. It was the night of the Jet Blue incident. Clearly she has trouble multi-tasking. She was doing OK with the Rita coverage and the Jet Blue incident, but when a tornado was reported in Minnesota.......WHOA NELLY! In all of her 30 years of broadcasting, she had never seen a night like that! GEESH.

Yeah, we keep declaring that it's looter season and never find any looters. :-P

Well, when you "post" you are starting a new thread.

I'd recommend you just continue to add comments here (in this thread, like you just did) rather than begin a (another!) new hurricane thread tonight.

A few, but may have to hunker down inside the hotel for a few days, we may get some rain etc. if this thing stalls. Plan to stay until Thursday. Thanks for these threads, keeping me informed.

Great rant, and I support you 100%. I think I went over the edge today after hearing Blanco asking for money and then hearing about Mary Landrieu's obscene request from yesterday.

I will vigorously oppose any rebuilding of New Orleans below sea level. I will also vigorously oppose any levee construction if those boards are allowed to have the money.

In fact, at this point I would support a federal takeover of the entire state. It would be cheaper and maybe we could make Honore the Military Governor of the place.

That is how sick of them I am. (Not the citizens, just their entire political class from BOTH sides.)

Hah! I was a little late to the rescue :-)

"I hear ya - the money money money thing really gets me down - everytime an act of nature occurs they seem to see it as an opportunity for collecting more cash - of course I was listening to Rush today and he stirred me up on the money money money stuff."

I wound up missing Rush today, but am glad he's pointing out the cold, hard, greedy facts of the money mongering leftists. Come to think of it, Tony Snow has been too.

Hey, look at this. Rita is doing something good!

A note to Chronicle readers: Delivery disrupted

We will have a less-misinformed populace tomorrow.

They are reporting now that there is an eye-wall replacement ongoing... This is per their radar which includes an "MRI like" view of the inside of the hurricane itself.

[BurbankKarl]

These guys are awesome!

[fishntex]

One of my nephews is anal about storm tracking; he's got this elaborate computer program, that he's feeding coordinates and all kinds of data from the NWC and TWC into

Well that sounds a better than zydeco. Us geeks are ok to have around sometimes.

[onyx]

Thanks anyway --- I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.

KPLC - It's now too late to leave Lake Charles. Also, some sort of explosion on the other side of the lake from town.

[LA Woman3]

We have had rain and gusty wind all day. Our power is still on though. It did go out twice but was restored in less than a minute. There have been tornado warnings all around us, but I haven't heard of any damage.
Glad you are safe!

"Someone tell me when Wesley (The Weasel) Clark is off O'Reilly. I turn the TV off whenever he appears."


I turn it off whenever O'Reilly appears...LOL

[Frank_2001]

Those MSM bums won't give credit to anybody if it won't advance their lefty, Bush-hating agenda. Disgraceful!

[RDTF]

Karl what the heck do those signs on the table say?

[Sender]

CNN has a history of deliberate misinformation. Remember all the file footage of machine guns blazing as they discussed semi-auto rifles? And of course, their Iraq coverage. Roadside bombs blew up today, soldiers killed, growing insurgency, and absolutely nothing good was done for the people of Iraq today.
