Hurricane Katrina Live Thread, Part VII
NOAA - NHC ^ | 28 August 2005 | NOAA - NHC

Posted on 08/28/2005 8:10:23 PM PDT by NautiNurse

Extremely dangerous Hurricane Katrina is bearing down on the North Central Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans metro area. New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin conceded that as many as 100,000 inner-city residents didn't have the means to leave and an untold number of tourists were stranded by the closing of the airport. At this hour, people are still filing into the Superdome after security screening for weapons and contraband. National Guard have brought in 360,000 MRE (meals ready to eat) to feed the estimated 30,000 storm refugees in the Superdome.

I'm heading off for bed. I hope and pray that the storm will moderate during the night. I'd rather not see any records set.

"I'm really going to be honked off when the libs blame the president and the war for this hurricane."

I don't understand you people.

How can the president be responsible for a natural event?

I repeatedly read on these threads, "It's Bush's fault."

Why is it Bush's fault?

For whoever was asking about the WWL weathercaster with the new baby; they said on the air a couple of hours ago that the weatherman, his wife and newborn were well north of New Orleans headed for safer accomodations in Nashville.

NWS saying there is a slight chance that eyewall replacement will diminish the hurricane to Category 4.

I've got the sound off on the TV, and I'm following this storm solely through your threads. You're doing awesome. Thanx so much.

God bless everyone in Louisiana, Mississippi, etc.

I guess they're okay with the variety of Wrath of God that comes out your butt after eating a plate of that.
