they didn't get a "HUGE" amount of rain there(lake liv.) 2-4 inches...most of it fall along the la/tx border 8-12 inches..interesting
Blanko"s corp will be social workers, getting benefits for people in and out of La {I suspect bus tickets}
Now why does she want Rita and Katrina to be "one event",,there has to be a reason. More money? Mooching off Texas?
I am so suspicous of her.
Good grief!! I just heard the Fox weather guy say that Rita is going to hang around north Mississippi and dump maybe 2 feet of rain before it heads southeast. He said there's even a slight possibility that it could go back out into the gulf and re-intensify into a tropical storm. I sure hope that doesn't happen.
Last year, I moved from Los Angeles to Miami, and I drove cross-country on I-10. I started out August 30, but didn't get to Miami until September 8 because I had to hold back for four days in Louisiana and wait for Hurricane Frances to get out of Florida. As it turned out, I got to Miami between Frances and Ivan.
So I drove through all the Gulf Coast cities along I-10, and through all the areas affected by Ivan, Katrina, and now Rita. Stayed in Baton Rouge those four days and toured NOLA over Labor Day weekend. I remember when I drove through Lake Charles after leaving Beaumont. Little did I know at the time what awaited all these areas exactly one year later.
Blanco wants the feds to pay for all of louisiana's teachers, cops, firefighters.
She is pathetic.
What I don't understand is why doesn't that "surge" go down, usually they do.
And why is the water rising in Lake Charles?
I have two cats. They are smarter than Blanco's advisers.
Let the Gulf have it.
Wind 25-37 mph here in Arlington. Dust and small debri getting blown around.
It wouldnt surprise me if a tree limb or 2 caused spotty power outages or flips a few trucks over on the mix masters.
Ive never felt a NE wind so warm here.
A huge concern I have now is all the runoff that's eventually going to be dumped into the Mississippi River from the rain over the next few days.
I can't believe that the fedgov would do that. Is it legal?
Walker Percy in Lanterns of the Levee wrote about these bubbles. The book is now sort of discounted as racist but it is an excellent book. He lived I do believe on one of those Delta plantations upriver and his descriptions of the levee and how they watched it was fascinating.
Agree, Housley has some sense of geography.
I cannot wait to see Brenda-the-Orange, "gasoline COULD go to $5 per gallon." Again. She is a business reporter with absolutely NO sense of business.
It sounds like the rains from Rita will do more damage than the winds.
I see why they opened the gates, one arm of Lake Livingston is just east of Lufkin where 10-12" fell.
Galveston bay is about to be flushed.
I call Nagin, Blanco, and Landrieu: Wynkin', Blynkin' & Nod!!
You know it!
Mooching off Texas, plus making sure that all of the money flows to her corrupt pals in New Orleans. Why should she give a rat's a$$ what happens in places like Lake Charles and Sulfur and Houma? All those places vote republican.
Yes I did see your outstanding work. Best of the Web for 2005, and beyond.
