"Bumb" was one I hadn't heard before. Thought I was just ignorant!

They get a hell of a lot weirder when they are detoxing

You've got a point there. Been awhile since I've seen someone picking at invisible spiders in the air.

Geez. It will take decades for NO to recover.

I really want to hear Geraldo say "The Big Hard" again

LOL. I'd like to see one of the on-scene reporters tell Geraldo that "the streets are emptier than Al Capone's vault", just to see Geraldo's face.

It is a city known for Voodoo, partying in the French Quarter/Bourbon Street (and Fat City), as well as strip joints...

So we should expect this hurricane to head straight for Vegas next then?

Please.

They are closer to it than NO!

I know, I know. Maddening, isn't it?

I think a prayer thread would be a good idea at this point.

Right here....

"Chris Matthews calling it a catastrophe of biblical proportions."

"Him, too? He stole that from Geraldo! LOL"


They both stole it from Ghostbusters:

"...this will be a catastrophe of Biblical proportions."

"What do you mean, 'Biblical'?"

"What he means is Old Testament, real 'wrath of God'-type stuff."

"Earthquakes, volcanoes..."

"Fire and brimstone..."

"The dead rising from the grave!"

"Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!"

Update on WDSU:

The station staff has bailed out of New Orleans, and is headed for temp facilities in Jackson, MS; their sister station in Orlando (WESH-TV) is running the show until they can set up shop in Jackson (however long that takes).

The updated feed is at: http://mfile.akamai.com/12912/live/reflector:38843.asx. I'm guessing that the signal may go back to the other one once they get up and running Jackson, but as you know, nothing is definite in this kind of situation.

Janice Dean was on Imus before Fox. Does that explain anything??????

First you would have to stage the aircraft and move the people to the airfield. It would have been faster to move them out on trains to include freight trains.

That's not true if NO gets the storm surge....NO may not get the storm surge...just depends on where Katrina hits.

Not the whole metro area, but a big portion; but that would require a perfect shot and you'd still have massive flooding.

Maybe when they shut the oil platform in, they also cut power to the buoy -- don't know.

I asked my husband about this, he said NO!!!! He said what he is hearing is the instrumentation on the platforms are being torn off. If it is being torn of the platforms it may very well be torn off the buoys. Not sure how they are held intact... some are internal. Waves have been recorded 18 to upwards to 32 feet!

"I wish people understood how important it is to leave ahead of the evacuation orders. You can always turn around and come back home."

That is the best piece of advice I have heard yet!
