Folks, this storm, if it continues as predicted, is going to affect millions of good people, killing some of them and wiping out more, possibly including my parents. It will end up costing us every one of us money in one way or another.
Can’t you think of something to post other than lame, stale, sick jokes?
Who is making jokes about it and why are waiting until know to call for mandatory evacuation?
Most people are praying to the high heavens for you and your folks.
Stay safe friend.
I am stationed at the Navy Base in New Orleans, and I am afraid that the entire city is about to be destroyed by this storm.
My home in Marrero? I am not counting on ever seeing it again.
President Broussard just announced that he thinks the West Bank could see 6-8 feet water surges into the area.
If that happens, then it's bye bye to everything I have ever owned and worked for.
Thankfully, I am insured, but I still hate the thought of my home being turned into a wasteland.
Agreed. Let's be encouraged by the fact that people seem to have learned from the Katrina mess.
I was in New Orleans in April to help with rebuilding. It's still a mess down there three years later. The reality is that there was plenty of blame to go around. Nagin, Blanco, and yes some has to go to the President and FEMA. Lots of stuff was handled poorly. People made the wrong choices, the wrong assumptions.
What we should be doing now is watching and praying for those in the storms path, and then considering how we will respond to the aftermath.
To some people it's all about team points.
