That's news to me, everytime I pass by CNN in the evening I see either the one guy holding up tomorrow's front pages of various newspapers or Nancy Grace's mug talking about Natalie Holloway.
No other countries offer to help us.
Not even after 9/11.
Except for the one middle eastern guy that offered Rudy G. ten million and Rudy told him to "Stuff it" (basically.)
$2.84 this morning. $2.99 this afternoon here in Waukesha.
Check. Just finished looking it some old USCOE levee maps of that area.
Other pics do show water flowing into NOLA. This one does not.
Agreed. I even watched Larry King's coverage and it was good, LOL.
It's like a different world, between the west and the east, and I just happened to find myself in the worst spot for a conservative American: Quebec. :)
You first.
Since no one can begin clean-up, powers that be could get crews to the older model truck/shipping containers (there are thousands in fields across the USA) to cut in doors and windows, pipes, plumbing and roof a/c, etc... Transport to best locale be it parks or fields for temporary housing. Mexicans have been doing this for years and it works--it's far better than being homeless or living in a shelter.
We can support this effort by donations of used furniture, bedding, appliances, grills and such (we all have extra "stuff" we can share for the hurricane victims.
Those I saw had shutters, a garden fence, flowers an such.
Down here in Port Charlotte, folks hit by Charley must evacuate FEMA trailers real soon but those just hit have no job/home to go back to. More are needed, why not use the resources we already have? (Recycling at it's best)
same problem as you find with a lot of earthen dams in the country. Unless you go down to bedrock and put in a strong foundation... sooner or later, nature will take it back.
The people throughout the state and region don't need hand-wringing and emotional carnage from Governor Blanco or "Miss Mary." They need leadership, direction, and some steel in their voices.
Even Ann Richards or Dixie Lee Ray would have some cajones in play.
The refugees in NO don't have a clue what's ahead of them :(
sw
Howlin is just fine. Why are you even on this thread if you are getting tired of hearing about the hurricane?
LOL. The way thing are in this world today ...could very well be. LOL
Yeah I liked the marching band, that was pretty awesome.
Very very American.
That's not CNN. That's Headline News
My screen is on fire. Everyone please stick with info. on the crisis.
The evacuee NPR spoke to yesterday in Shreveport was about to take her premiee to the hospital, and hadn't heard from those staying behind in NO but thought there probably was 4-8 feet of water in her house. She said the shelter was wonderful, but...
Maybe to you; too dang bad.
BTW, it's Freeper etiquette to ping the person you're trashing.
