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.

My father lives in Florida on a golf course in this exclusive, gated country club. after a few hurricanes last year, he described to me some of the most ridiculous behavior by people who have all the money in the world... and afterwards there were the vultures taking advantage...

You are a very bitter person, and I think you are better than your post implies.

My wife's birthday was yesterday, she wanted something that went from zero to 200 fast! So I bought her a bathroom scale.

Heh. I'd have seen that as legitimate cover to buy a Hayabusa. :-)
