Galveston lost about 6,000 in the great storm. It will be a true horror of mismanagement if it tops that.

I thought it was more like 8,000.

Your opinion is just that. Many people in this forum are from there.

An opinion formed from neighbors who lived there and confirmed by quite a few comments on this very thread this morning. If you think I do not understand that people on this thread are actually from NO, you are misinformed.

Attempting to evac some on the buses . . .

More and more difficult to get to the buses . . .

"Walking plan" to the buses . . .

But not good from security point of view . . .

Success unsure . . .

That's not a good thing? Water rising again?

Haven't been able to go through the entire thread, but anybody know how many they got out of the SuperDome area so far?

FYI, overnight developments:

1. Scanner reports of clashes between police and looters, unconfirmed by major outlets. I won't give details because these are unconfirmed by other sources and we don't need rumors, but if true, things are degenerating rapidly.

2. CNN reports that a "renegade bus" showed up in Houston, details not yet available.

3. Scanner reports around 0200 that a Guardsman had been shot in the thigh at the dome, assailant chased into locker room. Story confirmed by FOX live about 30 minutes ago.

4. Current scanner reports as detailed in recent posts, NBC live reporting shots fired at choppers in the dome area, choppers not permitted to land, Guard command: "We cannot operate in this airspace, sending LE to try to regain control, on scene reporters say very little visible police presence, crowd becoming belligerent with reporters, fingers to the chest and shouts of "Get us out of here!"

5. Alleged NBC reports of a new levee breach, location unspecified, 700' long, however, neither of the links given led to a report containing this information.

Becoming 'top of the fold' coverage in Japan, too. They are reporting, in Japanese to the people in Japan, widespread "ryakudatsu" (looting) occuring 'in this large American city'. Japanese press now carrying this photo:
