Frin Thread, Part XIII. I remember the mayor announcing the openning of the Superdome as a refuge of last resort. He told people to bring their own food and water as their were none.

That was it..."Refuge of Last Resort." Thank you. Now I do remember people were told to bring their own food and water. That was helpful...NOT!

From Thread, Part XIII. I think in a flood zone you simply have to do the extra structural and HVAC engineering and put them up out of reach of the water. But that is very expensive . . . "pay me now or pay me later."

Where is the Magic 8 ball when you need it, right?! Thanks for the primer on generators, AAM!

Latest entertainment: The media scrambling to use a term other than "refugee". "Evacuee" has been proposed but Houston radio is urging people to refer to the folks in the astrodome as "Our Gulf Coast Neighbors," saying that even evacuee is unacceptable.

Too many syllables for me, but I'll compromise on a catchy anacronym, How about "OGCoaNs?
