Even the governor of Louisiana is looking at Rita as a distraction from getting over Katrina. When all is said and done, it will be Rita that has left the biggest scar on Louisiana.

When I read on FR last night that the CG was rescuing the stranded in SW LA yesterday my first thought was good grief - does no one learn - I mean how isolated are these people?
Rita basically "threaded" her way up the stateline and its relatively unpopulated area but of course there are going to be some communities and people living there - just not millions.

You wouldn't expect Jerry Rivers to venture away from his party at the Holiday Inn, would you? What a worthless correspondent! Thanks for the link
that's New Orleans w/o the chemical sewage.

Now that is devastation. Looks like a town that was literally built on the beach.

"

I doubt that.
It will be Nagin, Blanco, Landrieu, and the NO police, with a little gun grabbing and the incessant whining of Geraldo and Shepard Smith tossed in for flavor.

Over on the board you made into a clickable link, they're saying that's Cameron and not Campron...as usual MDM gets it wrong again.

Yes- follow the link, and go to page 2 ( scroll to bottom, look for "page 1 2" )... it's really ghastly.

Not enough coverage? Perhaps there wasn't enough blacks involved in the devastation?

Because of costal erosion over the last few decades the beach has literally gone from hundreds of yards away to practically on the front porch. The irony here is that Rita will have reversed years of work to improve the erosion around this area of the coast.

You seem to have done it right, everything you needed was there, and on a separate line. I'm trying to figure out why your URL didn't automatically turn into a clickable link. Maybe someone else can tell you why your computer failed to do it.

Now that is devastation. Looks like a town that was literally built on the beach.It looks to me like it was a bare beach before the hurricane. I don't see any rubble.

I just went thru the whole thread and clicked on every link.
My God what a mess. God help those people.
All I'm hearing is from Tx and NO, this area need help quickly.
