Perhaps Shep Smith and Phil Keating on Fox News yesterday said that "New Orleans dodged a bullet" because they did. I'm pretty sure they were referring to hurricane Katrina herself, and where her "eye" went through the area. Instead of hitting them directly, she veered off to the east a bit. That would be dodging a bullet, IMO.
None of us could have known for sure what the aftermath would be like, as we witnessed last night and this morning. Prayers for all. chena
Those two are redeeming themselves today. Shep's telling it like it is.
