If you are in the true path of this thing you will be very pleased that a tree in the window is the worst thing you have experienced. Where are you?

Twenty-four hours ago we were the bullseye. We feel for those in western Louisiana who now have this storm bearing down upon them directly.

Why am I doing it? Because I am sick and tired of puny, uncounted, and worthless people using Free Republic for their miserable, worthless misfortunes.

You realize that you don't have to read threads you don't like. You can safely ignore our pitiful mewling by not clicking the link. I'll thank you to try it.

Looks like there are restaurants across the street from the 1894 Opera house. That's probably what is on fire. http://www.thestrand.com/maps/maps.php

Shep and his cameraman are going to blow away if he doesn't get inside, for crying out loud. He's stuck on stupid for sure.

It more like Shemp tonight.

I heard that he rescued a few ....

They interviewed an old guy from the bus on our local news...and he was talking about a policeman that rescued him...and how he carried him "like a baby", and even after being told there were oxygen canisters in the bus...

he went back to get more...and then the bus exploded..

I had tears running down my face listening to the story.

I also heard that supposedly, alledgedly, the driver took the bus to get a new tire...and the guy that put the tire on, told him that the brake was in bad shape and could be trouble...but the driver didn't tell him to fix it..

so he put the new tire on, and well, we know what happened.

I didn't hear though, when he had the tire put on.

Like I said...supposedly, allegedly...on all of this from my local radio news.

We discussed this during Katrina; CNN definitely has the best storm coverage.

It's just the anchors who had us looking around for something to hurt them with.

I am switching back and forth from Fox and TWC and I swear the guy on the TWC in Beaumont is broadcasting from the exact same place as Shep on Fox, and he is not being blown around and losing hats like Shep.

Where did you hear that the Galleria was blacked out? I haven't had any wind or any glitches yet at all.
