I recall seeing a post that had a list of suggestions for items to have on hand when living without electricity but I can't find it now. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I feel like we're well prepared but I'd like to go over the list real quick. Thanks in advance!

Am I missing something? These people had a weeks notice of this and they didn't bother to fill the tank before leaving?

Being stuck in traffic for a dozen hours will put you on empty

there was oxygen on the bus - they are saying two explosions occurred before it just became an inferno!

Flip side of the coin is that those that closed will be a godsend for those returning after the hurricane passes before supplies are replenished a week or three later.

NASA has completely closed down, and has handed the keys to the International Space Station to Russia.

I heard them say that people were breaking windows to help get folks off the burning bus when the news crews arrived -

It would be nice if they dropped their damn cameras and helped get people out of the bus.

Let the left wings kooks form the largest anti-war protect or whatever tomorrow September 24th. There are few things that will be working very badly against them. Tomorrow all the coverage will be about the hurricane, and they will get very few coverage. Even if they get some coverage they will be viewed by the majority of Americans (more importantly majority of voters) as the left wing traitors that they are not only because they are providing aid and comfort for the enemy but also because they are doing this in time of another potential natural disaster hitting the United States.

PS: This left wing kook Donahue is a sane voice compared to most of the people in the protest tomorrow, I hope that the media carry the speeches of these kooks including loony Cindy Sheehan so America will see the degree of treason, hate, stupidity, and insanity that the Left has reached.

Actually, I think the report was from one of the Dallas air traffic helicopter who was reporting on the incoming traffic

Good morning.

Sad about the bus fire, etc.

Is Rita still drifting to the east and where is the projected landfall this morning?
