I don't think that Gov. Blanco heart is close to God,because what she had done in past. (God and Family)
Her attack on Fathers/Family is great, and I don't think God is with her.

Mr. Bush , God is closer to You than Blanco. Ask God for Help, and ask the American people to join You together in asking and praying to the Lord/GOD for help. I believe God will response

Wow. Keep heading for those rice fields, Rita. I'm willing to give up rice for awhile.

Ditto (and I like rice).

Somebody needs to be impolite enough to point out that LA is too corrupt to handle the reconstruction funds. To that bytches face. On national TV.

I've posted this morning (somewhere in a thread-maybe the Rangel thread) a link that states Algiers was not damaged by the storm. But it was destroyed by looters.

I think after this all is done you should be offered a job as reporter for the HC! You're posts are wonderful, as are so many of the posts from Freepers' who are in harm's way.

God's strength, comfort and grace be with all of you!

Someone asked him about local shelters this morning and he simply refused to entertain the question.

I agree with you. Houston isn't NOLA where the city is surrounded by water and inadequate levees. The city knows what areas are prone to flooding after Allison. Shelters could have been opened to the North and Northwest - it would be better than nothing.

You are right. We actually thought we were leaving early. We left earlier than most people in my neighborhood, some planning to leave yesterday morning.

Thanks for the report frog. My dad is staying home in southwest Houston. Near Gessner, Braeswood and 59. Any reports from near there appreciated.

Looking at those models after landfall, it looks like someone activated the "covey of quail" variable in the modelling algorithms...
