"or I should say, Fox News has. Sorry to be vague about names, but one of the Fox reporters "confirmed" that communications during Katrina were compromised because all the good stuff had been diverted to Iraq."

I've got news for that Fox reporter: NO had generators, Wal Mart sells 15 and up channel radios similar in type and use to the ones used by most first responders...they could have plugged a CB base station in using a generator and told everyone to use certain channels. Problem solved.

Those radios have a MINIMUM range of 15 miles. A lot more than that if you can manage to bounce a signal.

To all those staying and/or moving in the path of the storm, please give YOUR cell and home numbers to somebody on FR who you trust so they can contact you.

Excellent- thanks for the report. It's about time these idiots who call themselves reporters learned that FEMA depends on the LOCAL planning, prep etc to flow into- and they are NOT first responders.

***You know if China wanted to take Taiwan.... Right now would be a good move...***

Lots of fleet assets have been repositioned to Asia, and the New Hunter-Killers stationed in Guam could make for a really bad day if your a Chinese conscript....

Unless China comes up with about 150,000 troops that can swim the 157 miles to Taiwan while carrying full combat packs, youre still a good 15 years away from that...

I was thinking more along the lines of sedated or maybe a lobotomy.

You could chalk that up to NHC being slow on the updates. The last Vortex Data Message (1:08 pm CDT) had it at 920. We'll see what the 4 pm advisory says (at this point, it's not significant if the 908 number is delayed until then).

I think we have lots of refineries in Texas. And we are a big farming state.... but I think this is a mother nature storm. Don't really think President Bush or OBL have much to do with it.

"They asked him why this wasn't done for Katrina"

Quote of the day to some idiot reporter: "You're stuck on stupid!"

I don't know why........all the cables are saying it. I guess we want to wait for the official statement.

yes, but when he used the words "take the blame" - it was game over, the media simply chops that out of context and runs with it.

After the horror of the hurricanes and the destruction they leave behind is the destruction from all the people trying to blame these on Global Warming.
