Overall I'm very disappointed in Katrina.  Underwhelming.  You'd think she had Don King pimpin' her, the way she totally failed to kill thousands.

I was watching another CNN report a little while ago and some douche bag reporter was trying to stand in the middle of the street while giving his report.  When he realized he was about to get blown away he crouched down behind a public mailbox.  Then part of the mail box started to blow away and he grabbed a metal rod probably 2 feet long and tossed it in the street where the wind blew it out of site.  I wonder if it impaled anyone?

Maybe storms take on the personalities of the professional sports teams that inhibit the city(s) they strike.....in which case would perfectly explain Katrina's failure to live up to the hype.

Sure, easy to joke when your Doublewide is OK, isn't it Sarge?

John Bolaris must have forecasted it.

So the country has like 7 days advance notice that something big may happen somewhere along a coast line.

I don't get why we don't fly in a whole bunch of really big industrial fans that can blow winds about 160MPH (don't you act like the military doesn't have them!), and line them up on the coast.  Blow all them sumbitches directly at the storm.  It's traveling at about 40 to 60 MPH, with winds blowing 150MPH.  As long as you position the fans to blow in the opposite direction of the winds, it'll disappear..

Do I have to think of everything around here??   ::)

Does anyone else notice this guy looks like Sloth from the Goonies?  I guess the mutation from the chemical waste is already affecting those street dwellers  :paranoid

Dumbass, those fans will spin the earth in the opposite direction!

From what I hear, east New Orleans and surrounding towns are flooded, with dozens of collapsed buildings and several bodies seen floating in the water.

Levee breach... downtown NOLA is filling up. Tulane University Hospital, with 1000+ patients, is filling up with water and will need to be evacuated by air.

Saw pictures on TWC this morning.  Basically, the water is up to the roofs of the single-story homes, and to the street signs.

Probably that in the end the water damage will far exceed the wind damage.

Do you remember last year when people were talking about nuking hurricanes?  Elected officials were actually campaigning for the federal government to "do something about the hurricanes."
