Shades of the Titanic during her last moments.
No No NO, not at all.
I KNOW who's side you're on Peach,LOL.
I'm just wondering how the MSM will try to tarnish Bush over an act of nature? I'm pretty sure they'll find an angle to try to do just that, sadly.
Reports of post-storm help massing in region, but how do they get to NO? The city is surrounded by bridges, LOTS of bridges. Remember I-10 in Pensacola Bay? The odds are great that many bridges & causeways will fail, severely limiting access to the area.
I take that back with all the surrounding towns it will get that large.
I can't even imagine swimming in 63-degree water. Talk about shrinkage! Ow!
I went to Pensacola in August several years ago and the water temp was 91 degrees. It wasn't in the least bit refreshing; the air temp was 95+ and there was massive humidity, but getting in that 91-degree water didn't do a thing to cool me off!
A nice low-80s swimming pool or beach dip on a blistering hot day is a little slice of heaven, but 60 degrees? I'd pretty much have to be on fire before I'd jump in that!

Wow-
Does anyone remember - was it Camille that caused Memphis to flood?
Heard Shepard Smith was enroute to New Orleans, for what it is worth. His exagerations can make me crazy, however, maybe there is not the possibility of exageration in regard to Katrina.
That is not good, more time for people to venture out while the eye is overhead and get caught .

Even if the bricks and mortar are destroyed, it will be rebuilt. Folks will pick up the pieces and go on.
WWL Ch. 4 just did a segment from a church downtown. Many parishioners have left, but some were there, along with their priest. The reporter asked the priest if he was scared (duh! silly question.) The priest gave a little tiny smile and a tilt of his head and said, "Yes. Yes, I'm scared. Yes. But we are all in God's hands."

Oh, surely you jest? Here's 5 cents (my maximum bet) that says gas prices will rise tomorrow. If a princeling in Saudi sneezes, up they go. If a processing plant has a power outage, up they go, that same day! Any excuse the suppliers can use, they will. Has no one noticed that all the big gas companies posted record earnings this year? Supply and demand my foot! Let the drilling in Alaska begin!
I used to get Oysters at The Pearl, and po boys at a sandwich shop at the St.James Infirmery.
memories.
That money is for Gov't jobs, benefits and Democrat votes. Not for preparedness and citizen help. They can't even get basic thingsa highway artery roots, right. You saw the pix: 12 lanes of highway. 11 wide open, and 1...a parking lot. Oh, and from other posts here, all the criminals are out of harm's way, judging from the empty prisoner busses returning south.
Fox reporter just said they would be riding out the hurricane inside the Dome.
Hard to fathom the force of this hurricane.
A huge wall of water with sustained winds for hours at the speed of NASCAR races.
She said it sounded like a single horn in the distance flowing through the streets, and the song was Amazing Grace.
That's another thing - will insurance pay if this is determined to be "flood" as opposed to "wind"? Any insurance agents on board?
See my post 660 for the link. The statement came out 90 minutes or more ago. Fox is Slooooow.
