The CNN reporterette is annoying with her drama queen descriptions of the roof ripping off the Superdome.

"Beau Rivage flooding up to second floor"

Is that a hotel? Where specifically is it located?

What are they saying?


What I'm watching they've lost the feed from the weather station in Slidell, which is getting the brunt of this

Well Said. I am praying that their voter base realizes who put their safety first while they are praying to get through this ordeal. It was their voter base that they left to fend for themselves. They could transport them to the poles to ensure political victory but couldn't move them out of harm's way.

But there are real dramas unfolding that the media totally misses . . . people on the roofs . . . levees breaching . . . water into second floors . . . a thousand or more life and death dramas are playing out while the media drones on, missing the real stuff . . .

Jeanne Meserve (CNN) is reporting LIVE from NO and says they can see the roof of the Superdome and it has been "shredded".

I agree with you on this one. Fox news is just becoming a more and more of tabloid news after the passing of each day.

Hyatt in NO has heavy damage - MSNBC Reports that the Hilton is taking heavy damage too.

I'm struggling with all of this.
