Good point.
I have always told my wife and family an emergency kit should always include a gallon of bleach.
Rush said that Shillary and Billy are on vacation in Hawaii...so she won't be whining at least for a week or so! LOL
God bless our Military, and IMO, the rest of the world can go suck an egg. We don't need anyone else's help because we can help ourselves.
I can see CS right now down in Crawford saying,"LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME."
That is a big deal - it wasn't flooded before. This morning it was puddles. And it's rising.
How about bringing in some huge army trucks and loading up people in the superdome and driving them out of town? I think the longer they wait, the higher the water is gonna get.
"To: jeffers
I understand your thinking, but if there's still a differnce in water level between that bridge and LakeP, even if the bridge were ultra-reinforced to do dam duty, the water would eventually spill over the levee
above the bridge and just make a new path.
(?)"
Good thinking, you obviously have a feel for this kind of thing, but I don't think so. The bridge crosses over the inner wall.
Hard not to think both things at the same time...well, maybe at least close together in thought. : )
I hope people have the forethought to hide in a safe place from the looters....like a bookstore.
Martial Law
What about all the rain which will fall in the Ohio Valley and empty into the Mississippi again?
During the Dayside show on Fox, they clarified that it was not martial law, but another request to evacuate the city due to additional flooding because of the levy breaches.
We aren't the only ones thinking like that.
My Aussie friends emailed me and they are just aghast ppl are stealing! Saying it blows their image of good Americans, but depicts the "Ugly Americans."
So true.
Yes, But Martial Law was called by state not Fed gubment.
Thanks for the clarification.
Understood, but he needs to be more visible. MSM will soon portray him as indifferent to the suffering.
There may even be terrorists in New Orleans getting a close look.
They will indeed learn from this. As should we.
One thing that must be assured.
There will be social order and no level of panic or looting allowed, tolerated, by the United States in light of major disasters. The terrorists would just love for us to lose our marbles and unravel.
Well that's a good one.
