Man, after the discussion about dealing with looters, I read that there were people "hanging" i.e. "hanged" on poles near French Quarter per Fox.

It's already been raining here in southern WV for 3 days. We expect our own problems by mid week.

Yes. I flipped back to see who it was.

Did you hear the answer: That there are a lot of dead people down there. What question was he answering?

Sorry. Was away from the desk for a while.


The feed I was getting quit after about 7 or 8 minutes and I couldn't get it to come back. Media Player kept telling it wasn't available anymore.

Curiouser and curiouser.

""oh great, people hanging on to poles near French Quarter per Fox" Geez, all three stations have such Drama Queens! "

So if he sees that are you suggesting he just turn away and not report it?

I'm about 15 miles south of Jackson near hwy 49. The weather is deteriorating quickly. The trees are bending like grass in a windy field. Our power is intermittant and will likely go out for good soon.
