Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Louisiana coast on Monday with 140 mile per hour (224 kph) winds as the powerful storm came ashore from the Gulf of Mexico and took aim at low-lying new Orleans.

Perhaps the prayers of just a few were enough for the Almighty to spare the city.
that's Hwy 90...Hwy 80 runs east-west about 175 miles to the north
(AP not you)
"As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressionsit is by grace you have been saved.
Ephesians 2:1-5
What kind of stupid comment is that? Exactly what would you have the President do right now?
"that's Hwy 90...Hwy 80 runs east-west about 175 miles to the north"
I wondered about that. ;o)
Shut up, and go away.
Comments like that are not needed,
nor wanted.
Jessie Jackson's looking for you, Mom. You remember old Bareback Jessie, eh ?
Well it looks like Canal Street, has become a Canal.
She thinks that Bush made it rain on Louisiana.
MurryMom only understands when you backhand her across the face hard enough for her few brain cells to register pain.

Sheesh!! Darwin Award prospect?
I can almost predict how the Left will pin this on President Bush - they'll somehow say the storm is a consequence of global warming, which President Bush somehow is responsible for.

Normally, I ignore her posts.
I, usually, don't deem her worthy of a comment.
But, today, she got on my last nerve.
I notice she didn't mention Karl Rove, though. ;o)
Agreed. This guy is a dumb@ss. He's the reason that rescuers' lives are needlessly put in danger because he was "tough" at the time the evacuations were declared.
They are also wearing tinfoil hats, saying that Bush wants the evil Haliburton corporation to get contracts to help rebuild and aid hurricane victims, and that this was his intention all along.
You can't make this stuff up.
